| Paratext Text | For William Paul Fry - Irish Air Corps Search and Rescue / Air Ambulance pilot |
| Notes | The speaker of the poem celebrates the humanitarian activity of William Paul Fry, of the Irish Air Corps search and rescue, for his work rescuing people in Western Sahara, including minefield-ridden areas and old battlefields. The speaker admires his humanitarian work, comparing him to the Hale-Bopp comet, and to someone ferrying the souls of the dead back to their loved ones. |
