“...Raleigh was later to write, after a duel the hangman was the one who bestowed the garland on the victor.”

William Gibson

Therese Doucet

“...early medieval Ireland sounds like a somewhat crazed Wisconsin, in which every dairy farm is an armed camp at perpetual war with its neighbors, and every farmer claims he is a king.”
