Notes This poem appears to implicitly criticise Irish neutrality during WW2 based on its placement in a collection alongside poems which do so more explicitly (though not directly). The poems preceding and following this poem, 'Night in Dublin' and 'On the Sense of Isolation in War-Time Ireland' similarly appear to allude to neutrality in WW2.
