This visual poem for Dublin is just perfect

Know someone coming home to Dublin for Christmas? This is for you.

Know someone coming home to Dublin for Christmas?

This might be just the thing to get them in the mood - a visual poem dedicated to the city herself.

Dublin - With her seedy elegance, with her gentle veils of rain / And all her ghosts that walk / And all that hide behind / Her Georgian facades...

The team over at Visit Dublin might be a tourist organisation, but this beautiful reading of the poem 'Dublin' by Louis MacNeice is just perfect for those getting ready to visit home this December.

It's also a wonderful reflection on how little the soul of the city has changed since this poem was penned in 1939. Even better, MacNeice wasn't a Dubliner himself, but from Belfast - but knew the city so well.

Read by modern Dublin slam poet Stephen James Smith, it's put me in the mood to stroll the cobble streets next week.

Anyone else?
