What a strange scene it was, to be sure, of uproar and wild confusionof quarrelling and fighting from beginning to endof broken heads, of black eyes, and bruised shinsof shouting, of shrieking and swearingof blasphemy and drunkenness in all its forms of brutality. Ay, and as Ive heard say, of many a deed of darkness, not omitting murder, and other crimes not less foul and hateful to Him who made this beautiful world, and gave to man a religion of love and purity. There the rollicking, roaring, bullying, fighting, harum-scarum Irishman of olden days had full swing for all the propensities and vile passions which have ruined him at home, and gained him a name and a fame not to be envied throughout the world. Often have I wondered whether, had a North American Indian, or a South-Sea Islander, visited the place, he could have been persuaded that he had come to a land of Christian men. Certainly an angel from heaven would have looked upon the assemblage as a multitude of Satans imps let loose upon the world. They tell me that the fair and its bedevilments have pretty well been knocked on the head. I am glad of it, though I have never again been to the spot from the day of which I am about to speak.</p>...1036947Old Jack92102https://www.gandhi.com.mx/old-jack-2/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1208340/d515aeae-11fe-4147-93a7-75346769a248.jpg?v=638337614768270000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219781465596550_W3siaWQiOiJmN2EzMTAwMC1jNWQ5LTRhOTItYTVlNS04NDUzNTAwZTRlMjkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjk0LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo5NCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTEtMTVUMDM6MDA6MDBaIiwidG8iOiIyMDI0LTExLTMwVDIzOjU5OjU5WiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9LHsiaWQiOiI2N2FkNmI1Yi1iMGZjLTRlNzAtYTZkNi0yZWZkNjI3M2U1NGYiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjEwMCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjEwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjkwLCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlfV0=9781465596550_<p>Of course youve heard of Donnybrook Fair, close to the city of Dublin.
