Cheerful, Vigorous, Spiritual; De Valera's Fantasy in the Abbey Theater Ireland has, through human expressions and its social legacy, regularly been seen as a dream nation; dream as in it is frequently portrayed in an improved, romanticized design. This can be seen in William Butler Yeats' and Lady Gregory's interpretation of Ireland as the sentimental courageous woman Cathleen Ni Houlihan, or in the commonness of Celtic culture, exemplified by associations, for example, the Gaelic League. Eamon de Valera's 1943 St Patrick's Day discourse, 'On Language the Irish Nation', is one more case of a romanticized, improved, and pure Ireland, this time utilized for political, instead of aesthetic or social, purposes. It is obvious to see through a huge heft of Irish writing, explicitly the dramatization of the Abbey Theater, notwithstanding, that the Ireland de Valera portrayed in this discourse, a glad, fiery, otherworldly Ireland, never genuinely existed previously or present; de Valera misused Ireland's sentimental creative mind to make political purposeful publicity.
