Eagle's Nest Mountain

Eagle's Nest Mountain, Killarney.

The highest mountain in Ireland, Carrantual, at one side lifts itslofty brow, "crowned with tiaras fashioned in the sky." On its summit anoutlaw, known in Munster as the "Shon" or Hawk, after many sleeplessnights, footsore and weary, slept here with a prayer, "Thank God, atlast I am above all my enemies."
