The Well of the Saints is a play written by Irish playwright John M. Synge. The play tells the story of two blind beggars, Martin and Mary Doul, who are cured of their blindness by a holy well. Upon gaining their sight, they are disappointed to find that they are not as physically attractive as they had imagined. The play explores themes of beauty, truth, and the human condition. It was first performed in 1905 and is considered one of Synge's masterpieces. The Well of the Saints is a compelling and thought-provoking play that offers a unique perspective on the nature of human perception and the pursuit of happiness.TIMMY -- [coming out, with a hammer, impatiently.] -- Do you want me to be driving you off again to be walking the roads? There you are now, and I giving you your food, and a corner to sleep, and money with it; and, to hear the talk of you, you'd think I was after beating you, or stealing your gold.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
