            <text>“They knelt and prayed and rose and prayed&#13;
And circled the crosses and kissed the stones&#13;
Never looking away from the brimstone bitterness&#13;
To the little islands of Pan held in the crooked elbow of the lake,&#13;
They closed their eyes to Donegal and the white houses&#13;
On the slope of the northern hills&#13;
And these pilgrims of a western reason&#13;
Were not pursuing French-hot miracles&#13;
There were hundreds of them tripping one another&#13;
Upon the pilgrim way (Oh God of Truth&#13;
Keep him who tells this story straight,&#13;
Let no cheap insincerity shape his mouth).&#13;
These men and boys were not led there&#13;
By priests of Maynooth or stories of Italy or Spain&#13;
For this is the penance of the poor&#13;
Who knows what beauty hides in misery&#13;
As beggars, fools and fakirs know.”</text>
