Dublin Minstrels
View through CrossRef
Abstract
On arrival in Dublin, Yeats was greeted with the distressing news that members of the Anglo-Israelite sect, who believed that the English had descended from the lost tribes of Israel, had resumed destructive excavations on the Hill of Tara in search of the Ark of the Covenant. He was prevailed upon by Arthur Griffith, George Moore, and Douglas Hyde to visit the site for a confrontation with the landlord, and his involvement in the lively protest led him to write to the editor of the Times “to draw the attention of the public to this desecration. Tara is, because of its associations, probably the most consecrated spot in Ireland, and its destruction will leave many bitter memories behind it” (CL3 209).
