| Summary: | The Revd Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J., after two months’ residence in Glasgow wrote that though repulsive to live in yet there are alleviations, the streets and buildings are fine and the people lively. The poor Irish among whom my duties lay are mostly from the North of Ireland…. They are found by all who have to deal with them very attractive; for though always very drunken and at present very Fenian, they are warm hearted. … I found myself very much at home with them. [Their horrific lives gave] a truly crushing conviction, of the misery of town life to the poor and more than to the poor, of the misery of the poor in general, of the degradation of our race, of the hollowness of this country’s civilisation: it made even life a burden to me to have daily thrust upon me the things I saw. |
