The devil can quote Shakespeare for his own purpose.
Nationalism must now be added to the refuse pile of superstitions. We are now citizens of the world, and the man who divides the race into elect Irishmen and reprobate foreign devils (especially Englishmen) had better live on the Blaskets where he can admire himself without disturbance.
When an apparent miracle happened.it proved divine mission to the credulous, and proved a contract with the devil to the skeptical.
