| Paratext Text | (Do Ronald Masin agus do Mharia Kelleman a sheinn Ceithre Séasúir Vivaldi in Eaglais Naomh Stiofáin) 13 Feabhra 2006 |
| Notes | Speaker of the poem reflects on the beauty of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, a famous classical piece, as played by Masin and Kelleman in St Stephen's Church, Dublin. The speaker contrasts the beauty and power of the music with the brutality and suffering of the Holocaust. Such is the power of the music that the icons of human suffering are demolished by it. Specific locations are mentioned in the poem: Auschwitz, Belsen, and Warsaw. This may be an allusion to the fact that classical music, played on behest, was a feature of Nazi run concentration camps. |
