A poem of genesis. Professor Synge to the rescue, again. In context of

a theme

of genesis, from the chaos, gods springs forth : Fios – god of intellect.

Eolus – god of knowledge. Fochmare – god of enquiry

In Finite : Philosophy of India. The cosmos and creation as an infinite net of gems. In each gem can be seen the reflection of all the others, an infinity of infinities. But, what if in one stone is seen an edge, an end, a terminus? Does that imply an infinity of finiteness? Does it suggest that there are ends? McGuiness sees his own incompleteness as a rift in infinity that damns infinity to the finite. Assent : Assent, accede? Or… ascent , to rise? Or… most likely, both? What a song-like poem! McGuiness hints that. There is a building power rising from retrospection to a charge leveled at God. The obvious question is given a default answer, “Yes, there is life after death.” But the real question is more McGuiness, deep and dark. He asks, “Is God good enough for Caitlin?” There is no argument over power. Is our God a loving being or more like those that ancients believed in, arbitrary, vein - to be feared? Ring : The Ring of Kerry traveled in a horse drawn rig starting at Killarney, where such jarveys are rather popular. Nearly back again, one passes through Kenmare where a well known Druid’s Circle exists (there are others). Untilled : Again, double meaning. 1) Not planted or 2) Told wait until such and such over and over again. Both apply.
