    “There is no topic ... more soporific and generally boring than the topic of Ireland as Ireland, as a nation.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
    I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
    All that was said in Ireland is a lie
    Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
    Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
