"Down along the coveI spy my little bundle of joy."
Plump, stately and located on the base of a gatepost overlooking the tiny beach at Sandycove in County Dublin, the lonely sea and the sky infused with the tang of salt, envelops this one. While it appears that the gateway here is long redundant, nevertheless the gate posts have not been disturbed. Long may it continue.
The 'mark is on the base of the pillar, on the roadway side. In the background is Sandycove Beach; the former home of Michael Scott; and the Martello Tower which houses the James Joyce Museum. Just a stone's throw away, but just out of view, is the famous Forty Foot Bathing Place.
Wonder did James Joyce make any reference to the 'mark in any of his works? He is said to have boasted that if Dublin ever disappeared, it could be reconstructed by referring to the information contained in his bukes. Benchmarker is a bit more modest - not to mention charmingly self-deprecating - but feels what's published here on his website would be far more useful.
