<note type="critical" anchored="true">
<p>The alternative titles MacGreevy experimented with provide the key to this very
short poem. By the autumn of 1922 over six years had passed since Patrick Pearse
had proclaimed the Irish Republic in Dublin's General Post Office. The country had
seen the heart of its capital destroyed by the fires of Easter 1916, and this was
followed after the Seinn Fein victory in the 1918 election by an extended campaign
of guerilla warfare against the British with its reprisals and
counter-reprisals.</p>
<p>In the end, nationalist Ireland was divided into bitterly opposing camps, and
engaged in civil war over the terms of the agreement reached in London in December
1921. The new national institutions that emerged did so more through the passage
of time than as the expression of any national ideal or vision. MacGreevy's poem
captures the despair and weariness of a nation torn apart by war and bitter
political divisions.</p>

<p>MacGreevy, however, may be thinking of one or more of the paintings that

Saturn [Time] Devouring His Son, and the other is Pieter Brueghel the
Elder's The Triumph of Death, which depicts a whole society visited by
death riding a pale horse (using imagery from the Apocalypse) against a
background of barren landscape and a darkened sky.</p>
