Excerpt from A Stranger in Ireland
At the end Of two or three months a man's 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 one' S subject is inexhaustible, that one' S ignorance is unlimited. At the same time all those precise impressions which made every one of the early days an adven ture have become blurred, confused and inextricably entangled. For anything ap proaching a generalisation which I now feel inclined to make on any subject connected with Ireland or the Irish, a hundred excep tions and contradictions at once present themselves. It is only by a ruthless insistence on first principles that any order can be got out of the chaos of conflicting observation. And in this realisation of what must be the only, sound basis for his conclusions the man of letters has too often (as in my own case) to lament his short comings as a scholar.
