"McNulty was the close childhood friend, and probably the only intimate friend ever, of Shaw. [...] Shaw would drag his childhood soul mate, the ever-accommodating McNulty, to Dublin's National Gallery, where the oddly matched pair ... would wander for hours studying the gallery's paintings. [...] The two boys were inseparably bound. In fact, the earliest photograph of Shaw ... is with McNulty at his side. [...] The pair took an art class together. [...] McNulty and Shaw, who both lived to what for then was quite advanced age, maintained their intimate friendship ... through a tremendous and consuming, often, even, twice daily, written correspondence, when residing in different cities"

wake up babes, multiple new versions of "historians will call them close friends" just dropped
