Ireland 1847 | William Bennett, Quaker, “We entered a cabin. Stretched in one dark corner, scarcely visible, from the smoke and rags that covered them, were three children huddled together, lying there because they were too weak to rise, pale and ghastly, the little limbs - on removing a portion of the filthy covering - perfectly emaciated, eyes sunk, voice gone, and evidently in the last stage of actual starvation. Crouched over the turf embers was another form, all but naked, scarcely human in appearance. It stirred not, nor noticed us. On some straw, sodden upon the ground, moaning piteously, was a shrivelled woman, imploring us to give her something - baring her limbs partly, to show how the skin hung loose from the bones.” The Truth Behind The Irish Famine' by Jerry Mulvihill. 72 paintings and 472 eyewitness quotes. www.jerrymulvihill.com
