Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crisis in Ireland The political and social horizon to-day in Ireland is, at least for one class, and for the friends and sympathisers of that class, overcast and gloomy in the extreme. Yet dark and stormy as the outlook is now, it will be yet darker and stormier. A lull more apparent than real may at this moment pre vail, but the lull is only of thunder and of the noisy and innocuous wind; for, meanwhile, strong tides, which no force can stem, bear closer and ever closer to an iron-bound shore the little fleet in which are embarked the persons and fortunes of the Irish Landlords, and the many interests and hopes of which they are the centre. The mass meetings are at an end, the platform is silent, but the spirit of which they were the manifestationis here still unexorcised. The fierce oratory of the incipient revolution is no longer heard, or heard only in muttered curses and the rifle-shot at midnight; but the revolution goes its Own way, if silently, then with swifter steps, and breathing fuller strength.
