- Note
- "James Henry Cousins (July 22, 1873 – February 20, 1956) was an Irish writer, playwright, actor, critic, editor, teacher and poet. He used several pseudonyms including Mac Oisín and the Hindu name Jayaram. […] In 1897 he moved to Dublin where he became part of a literary circle which included William Butler Yeats, George William Russell ['A.E'] and James Joyce. He is believed to have served as a model for the Little Chandler character in Joyce's short story collection Dubliners."—From Wikipedia.
- Thanks Yeats for having subscribed to his book [probably The Legend of the Blemished King and Other Poems (1897)]. "I have striven to do my little share in deepening and widening the intellectual revival which appears to me to be the one hope for Ireland. It has been a delight to me to watch the progress of your goodself, Mr. Yeats, 'A.E.' (whose personal friendship I count at a high value) and the other members of the band of workers whose labours will make the last decade of the Century the brightest spot in recent Irish history. I shall never forget the first week of the Irish Literary Theatre (I have preserved my hat which I smashed in the applause), and I eagerly look forward to next season for a feast; -- not of steam-rollers or blood-thirsty sensationalism, but of drama that lives, and, therefore, must live."
