I'm an Irish Catholic and I have a long iceberg of guilt.
Irish Catholicism is very much founded on the stone of fear and of punishment.
Writing is the product of a deeply disturbed psyche, and by no means therapeutic.
Wherever there were horses or ponies the mushrooms always sprang up.
Countries are either mothers or fathers, and engender the emotional bristle secretly reserved for either sire.
In our deepest moments we say the most inadequate things.
