Sir, – FX O’Brien’s “Non, non, non” letter (January 21st) expressed precisely my own immediate response to the articles to which he refers; I imagine we are not alone.
However, on reflection, I think that these three words are the reaction of my heart. The reaction of my head is to agree with Macbeth: “I am in blood stepped in so far that should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er.” I trust our Ministers are ready for tough negotiations. – Yours, etc,
