- (continued from previous page)stage, when at Christmas, Eoghan returned from his wanderings. He threw himself into the contest with extraordinary vigour. It is remarkable that the two greatest Irish poets were born in places less than a mile apart, and that the poetical traditions which grouped themselves around the name of the one and which were perpetuated by his family should have so much influence in moulding the mind of the other."The academy at Faha prepared students for the more advanced seminary at Killarney, where candidates were educated for Holy Orders, and was not a mere grinding establishment, but fostered poetry and music and supplied a strong stimulus to the efforts of genius. The course comprised besides, Irish, English, Latin and Greek. In Greek Homer seems to have been a favourite, and in Latin, Vergil and Caesar and Ovid. It was in this academy that Eoghan received his classical education.Captain Fagan was landlord of Beann Árd and Lord Kenmare was landlord of Mínte Óga.Tim Moynihan of Beann Árd was evicted for 6 months by Fagan and then reinstated.
