Was it Cromwell who stated he hated that part of the country (the Burren) because "There wasn't a tree to hang one from, a stream to drown one in or enough earth to bury one in" (I think it goes something like that)? He must've been a great lover of nature & all things of beauty, to have traveled so far & to think & see only on the wonderous sights that a keen bloody eye can behold, it should've caused his heart to burst with pride & caused him to be left on that rocky surface to cook so that the great birds could have a great feast & discuss how great the great man tasted.
