Anna Liffey

The River Liffey, flowing through the centre of Dublin to Dublin Bay, aka the Anna Liffey, possibly from an anglicisation of Abhainn na Life, an Irish phrase translated into English as “River Liffey”. Shot from the Ha’penny Bridge, evening light reveals the Millennium Bridge and Grattan Bridge behind.

And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
.. Alfred Lord Tennyson
