1. Gozo is the smaller sister island of Malta / Is í oileán Gozo deirfiúr beag Mhalta.
2. Ceanglaítear an dá oileán le bád farantoireachta / The two islands are linked by ferry boat. Turas gairid mara 20 noiméad/ A short 20 minute voyage.
3. The Azure Window was to Gozo what The Giant’s Causeway is to Subedited Ulster. / Bhí an rol céanna ag an bhFuinneog Ghormghlas i Gozo is atá Clochán na bhFomorach in Uladh Giorraithe. 8 March 2018 The Azure Window, without warning, collapsed and sank beneath the waves, without as much as a wave. 8 Márta, 2018, gan foláireamh, thit An Fhuinneog Ghormghlas as a seasamh agus d’imigh as radharc faoi na tonnta, gan slán.
4. Edward Lear, limerickist, who lived in Malta for a spell in 1855/6, adored Gozo and sailed there as often as he could, whether in a pea-green boat or not./ Thit Edward Lear, luimníoch, a mhair i Malta ar feadh scaithimh i 1855/6, i ngrá le Gozo agus sheoladh sé chuici chomh minic agus d’fhéadfadh sé, bíodh sé i mbád glas ar dhath an píse, no ná biodh. Chum sé dhá aidiacht le cur síos ar Gozo: pomskizilious agus gromphiberous / He invented two adjectives to describe Gozo: promsskizillous agus gromphiberous. He also painted numerous watercolours/ Rinne sé go leor uiscedhathanna a phéinteáil chomh maith. Ní fios ar chum sé luimneach faoin Fhuinneog Ghormghlas / It is not known if The Azure Window inspired him to compose a limerick.
