THE RAIN IN SPAIN FALLS ON THE GOLDEN MILE I couldn't help notice how beautiful the footpaths looked in Madrid's writers quarter known as El Barrio De Las Letras. Joyce wrote that Ireland didn't yet have a national epic like Miguel De Cervantes' Don Quixote and here you can see the opening paragraph from Don Quixote in large golden writing. The entire street for a kilometre or two is full of quotes and poems from Spain's golden age, wouldn't you love to see joycean quotes around Dublin? Our ways are not your ways but I'd love to see some quotes from Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde too. Maybe I should get my head out of the gutter but Wilde said, we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. It's not like Irish literature wouldn't shine with a drop of rain. #raininspain☔️ #raininspain #donquijote #migueldecervantes #jamesjoyce #ulysess #ulysessunleashed #ulysses #ulisses #ulisesworld #ulises #wetpavements #pavementart #oscarwilde #bramstoker #ourwaysarenotyourways #inthegutter #irishineurope #irishinspain #irishinmadrid #irishliteratureandculture #irishculture🇮🇪🍀 (at Calle De Cervantes, Barrio De Las Letras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdG33NPozW_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
