MSJLibrary: Happy St. Patrick's Day...this month's "From the Stacks" features "The Rhymed Life of St. Patrick" by Katharine Tynan,

laplcentral: Slow Spring-Katharine Tynan O year, grow slowly. Exquisite, holy, The days go on With almonds showing the pink stars blowing And birds in the dawn. Grow slowly, year, like a child that is dear, Or a lamb that is mild, By little steps, and by little skips, Like a lamb or a child.

johnstonglenn: Maud Gonne was born OTD in 1866. Katharine Tynan said all her male friends, young and old, were in love with her, but “they soon got over it. . . . Her aloofness must have chilled the most ardent lover.”

MulofVoyCIC: We love all our pieces equally but think that Claudio Montebirdie may have a particular liking for Sheena Phillips' evocative setting of Katharine Tynan's poem 'The Christmas Bird' in our Vol 3. Tweet tweet!

germanmancini: Answer our call Only the heart-glad thrush, in the vale of Thrushes; Stirs in the brake But the dew-bright ear of the hare in his couch of rushes Listening, awake. ✒️ Katharine Tynan (1861-1931)

GregDaly: While I remember, I really liked this by Katharine Tynan -

thirstygargoyle: There really was some spectacular art created by women in early and mid-twentieth century Ireland, yet we hear too little of Evie Hone, Margaret Clarke, Mainie Jellett, Mary Lavin, Katharine Tynan and Teresa Deevy. Concepta Lynch should stand proudly - or humbly - with them.

SwanRiverPress: THE DEATH SPANCEL and Others by Katharine Tynan has been added to the Low Stock Report.

RevRichardColes: Now the golden daffodil ⁠Lifts from earth his shining head That was lately frozen still ⁠In the gardens of the dead. Sing to the Lord a new song! ⁠Roundelays and virelays, Who hath slain Death and is young ⁠Master of your holidays. Katharine Tynan, Resurrection. ⁠
