Chapter 3 | |
1. |
After the gathering comes the scattering | |
2. |
It is no shame to tell the truth. | |
3. |
neither a tally, nor footnote | |
4. |
Neither strength of sword, nor loud voice | |
5. |
far from the finery | |
6. |
From greedy hands | |
7. |
Nor to be found in those Who protest too much. | |
8. |
Truth is and always | |
9. |
A knowing More than telling | |
10. |
A feeling More than seeing | |
11. |
So those who proclaim by reason of folly | |
12. |
Are blind leading blind | |
13. |
An arrogant man stands higher than a mountain | |
14. |
At the sound of his name | |
15. |
Confidence and ignorance rarely survive the glare of truth | |
16. |
They are bedfellows | |
17. |
of those who claim all history is theirs | |
18. |
Fables then, the cowards work | |
19. |
After truth, raped and shallowed | |
20. |
Without a past untouched | |
21. |
To consign the holly to dust | |
22. |
To curse the head of Ireland, the kill the body. | |
23. |
Without holly, | |
24. |
Without proof | |
25. |
Without truth and wisdom | |
26. |
All Irish are but orphans. | |
