ÁILLEACHT

(Áilleacht, pronounced AWL-lucht, is an Irish (Gaelic) word meaning "beauty.")


One of my recent surfing discoveries has been how much sheer beauty there is on the World Wide Web. Indeed, there is so much and it is sometimes so staggering that I wonder how this fact is never mentioned in the press. The purpose of this site, then, is to introduce and describe sites that contribute to that beauty.

"The useful may be trusted to further itself, for many produce it and no one can do without it; but the beautiful must be specially encouraged, for few can present it, while yet all have need of it."
      Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
