[[File:Patrick Kavanagh thumb.jpg | 200px | right | thumb |Patrick Kavanagh]] [[Category:Influences on Morrissey - Literature]] == Relevance == His 1953 poem "If Ever You Go To Dublin Town" was quoted, in part, by Morrissey Central (March 2024).<br> It was mentioned prior to this in [[Mention::Autobiography]]: <blockquote> "Nellie is my father’s sister, and in 1973 she innocently asks me: ‘Have you considered being a butcher when you leave school?’ Nellie is thoughtful – and very kind, but her question is met with a silent howl. Why would I want to butcher anything? Her home town of Dublin offers Patrick Kavanagh, who died in 1967 at 62:<br> On Pembroke Road look out for my ghost<br> Disheveled with shoes untied,<br> Playing through the railings with little children<br> Whose children have long since died<br> and, wrongly, unnecessarily, this child weeps, full of the foolish embarrassment that his father has clearly marked out." </blockquote>
