Excerpt from A Stranger in Ireland At the end of two or three months a mans ideas about a new country are usually clear cut and sharply defined, so that the task of putting them on paper is simple, the result having as often as not a certain value from its very freshness. But after a stay of two or three years the situation is altogether different. One feels that ones subject is inexhaustible, that ones ignorance is unlimited. At the same time all those precise impressions which made every one of the early days an adventure have become blurred, confused and inextricably entangled. For anything approaching a generalisation which I now feel inclined to make on any subject connected with Ireland or the Irish, a hundred exceptions and contradictions at once present themselves.
