Cliffs of Moher
Where the green fields of western Éire end, the land does not taper gently; it stops. The Cliffs of Moher fall sheer into the great water, an eight-kilometer wall of shale and wind that hums like a great instrument. Sea birds circle in endless spirals, white against the dark rock, their cries blending with the surf below.
For the traveler, the cliffs are geology made lyrical. Celtic philosophers once described them as the meeting of elements: earth confronting air, water sculpting stone. The place became a school of stoicism long before the word crossed seas - a reminder that endurance can be elegant.
Today the cliffs are a protected reserve, walked by naturalists and poets alike, teaching that even silence can have structure when shaped by time.
