The Blue Window: a terrible beauty is born

            Quoted from Yeats's great poem, "Easter, 1916," about the violent and tragic Easter Rising. The colour symbolism gives the current political context. An attractive image on the surface, with a much more sombre meaning just below, amid the burning and the fog of war.
