| Notes | The speaker of the poem rails against the mundanity of life and the failure of the everyday to bring fulfilment, only arguments over the minutiae of 'Irish Identity', soccer, and so forth. He instead admires the 'three honest ones' - the poet, the priest, and the soldier, who he believes to be among those who can accept the harsh realities of life. He gives examples of each: Francis Ledwidge, an Irish soldier who fought in World War I; St Francis Xavier, a 16th Century Jesuit missionary; Seán-Phádraig [Ó Conaire], a novelist in Irish; Liam Ó Flaithearta, also an Irish writer. The speaker believes these three professions to be the most momentous of those available to humanity. |
