It Is Better To Be Tied To

Queen Victoria Was Loyal And True To The Pope; That Is What I Was Told, And So Is Edward The Seventh Loyal And True, But He Has Got Something Contrary In His Body.

I Said, In Talking, That I Felt More And More The Time Wasted That Was Not Spent In Ireland.

It Is What The Poets Of Ireland Used To Be Saying, That Every Brave Man, Good At Fighting, And Every Man That Could Do Great Deeds And Not Be Making Much Talk About Them, Was Of The Sons Of The Gael; And That Every Skilled Man That Had Music And That Did Enchantments Secretly, Was Of The Tuatha De Danaan.

It Was Among Farmers And Potato Diggers And Old Men In Workhouses And Beggars At My Own Door That I Found What Was Beyond These And Yet Farther Beyond That Drawingroom Poet Of My Childhood In The Expression Of Love, And Grief, And The Pain Of Parting, That Are The Disclosure Of The Individual Soul.

It Is The Old Battle, Between Those Who Use A Toothbrush And Those Who Don't.
