A pamphlet and poem reflecting on John Hogan’s marble statue of the Transfiguration. The statue is held in Mount Argus Passionist Monastery in Harold’s Cross in Dublin. The poem asks the reader to remember the ‘weed-grown, cold [and] forgotten’ grave of the sculptor in the cemetery. The poetic tribute was written by John Clarke (1868-1934), a County Antrim-born nationalist and journalist who wrote numerous articles on Gaelic cultural revivalist subjects, often using the penname ‘Benmore’.
