Annotation | The first vision "Vision I. Ireland's New Parliament, 1887. (By the Dark Seer)" (3-12) is the standard attack on the Irish, and their inability to govern themselves (neither eutopian nor dystopian). The second vision "Vision II. The Irish Legislative Body, 1894. (By the Bright Seer)" (13-22) depicts the Irish eutopia brought about by Home Rule. Ireland remains linked to Britain but rules itself. Land is locally owned, and agriculture is good. There is good social order and little crime and the population is growing. There is no religious conflict. |
