Quoted by Mary Robinson in “Ideas Matter” – a book of essays in honour of Conor Cruise O’Brien this poem by Seamus Heaney. From the Republic of Conscience The old man rose and gazed into my face and said that was official recognition that I was now a dual citizen. He therefore desired me when I got home to consider myself a representative and to speak on their behalf in my own tongue. Their embassies, he said, were everywhere but operated independently and no ambassador would ever be relieved. This was just one gem discovered in The Book Barn – a Somerset adventure in secondhand books.
