Abstract
In a review of High Island in The New York Review of Books, March 6, 1975, Donald Davie recalled walking with Richard Murphy and an Old English Sheepdog twenty years before and commented, This has been Murphy's trouble all along ? an English dog (or an English manner, certainly an English accent) in an Irish setting. In an April 17 letter to the editor, Murphy reacted angrily to the simplification: the division of Ireland is not just in our country, but in every Irishman's blood: and has to be resolved individually, before the con flict can be settled as a whole. One should not falsify the ancient and current Irish equation with passionate simplicities, but try to clarify by defusing some of the explosive credal myths.
