The day of reckoning may be long in the calling; but sooner or later the debt must be met.......Civil War in Ulster...may well bring to pass the fulfilment of Edmund Spenser’s three-hundred year old prophesy. The empire that began on an island, ravaged, sacked and plundered, may indeed end on that island.....If the ‘Irish Loyalists’ make good only half their promises, they will bring down a much bigger thing than an English party....The fire kindled...may light the flame that shows the men of India the path to freedom”.
