Dear Claire: Certainly, Irish monks are known for their lyrical appreciation
of the natural world & the beauties of nature. One gets a good sampling in,
for example, Ludwig Bieler's _Ireland, Harbinger of the Middle AGes_,
published in the early 1960's. Others can no doubt provide fuller sources.
I'll try to think of others.
