The novel The Big Wind by Beatrice Coogan uses the events of January 1839 as a historical backdrop.
The Irish-language poet Seán Ó Ríordáin wrote a two-verse poem, "Oiche Nollaig na mBan" which in its first verse, details a storm that occurred on 6 January (the titular Oiche Nollaig na mBan or Women's Christmas Night, i.e. Epiphany). The second verse recounts the poet's desire that his eventual death should coincide with a similar storm. This poem has been a set-work, required for study by students of the higher level Irish Leaving Certificate in Irish Language and Literature.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or writing:
“Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It is wrong to be harsh with the New York critics, unless one admits in the same breath that it is a condition of their existence that they should write entertainingly about something which is rarely worth writing about at all.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
