Painting -- Irish Writers

With the feeling of fresh Irish air stirring my heart, it occurs to me that I forgot to insert this painting (From my Dublin visit) into a Blog.  I wonder if you could list the famous writers shown.

"Education is an admirable thing.  

But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
