| Notes | This poem describes 'the mother of the sea', hiding her offspring (fish) deep under the water to conceal it, and thus protect it, from humans. Like other poems by Titley, such as 'Fionnachtain', 'An Filiméala' and 'Haikúnna ar Fhómhar an Chaipitleachais', this poem addresses the themes of extractivism and environmental denigration. It could be read in the context of the rights of nature. |
