unusual facts about Dublin University



The Horror at Red Hook

A "Dublin University man born in a Georgian villa near Phoenix Park," he is said to have "the Celt's far vision of weird and hidden things, but the logician's quick eye for the outwardly unconvincing.... In youth he had felt the hidden beauty and ecstasy of things, and had been a poet; but poverty and sorrow and exile had turned his gaze in darker directions, and he had thrilled at the imputations of evil in the world around."

William Frederick Johnson

A graduate of Dublin University, he spent most of his life in Co Armagh, first as a teacher in Armagh town, then as Rector in Poyntzpass.
