In Poetry
The poem called Belfast Confetti tells of the attacks made by the IRA. It also shows the extent to which an Irish man was interrogated by British Police and how he failed to be able to answer their questions due to a language barrier. The moral of the poem is that without language, conflict cannot be resolved.

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Proper names are poetry in the raw. Like all poetry they are untranslatable.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
