Lament for Art O Leary, which Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill wrote for her murdered husband on May 4th, 1773, is still hugely powerful. With Seán Ó Tuama s 1961 version, the poem became the focus of much dedicated scholarship. This is the poem that caused Peter Levi to call it, in his inaugural lecture as Oxford professor of poetry, the greatest poem written in these islands in the whole 18th century Collector’s Item.
