Sir, - After a recent funeral at Glasnevin cemetery, in a fit of either patriotism or romanticism (otherwise called tribunal ennui), I decided to lay a flower on the grave of Michael Collins.
It was Valentine's weekend and I was delighted to find that my single red rose was merely one of many.
"Romantic Ireland's dead and gone. . ."? - Yours, etc.,
