"Before the huge high door of the Irish house of parliament a flock of pigeons flew." (U8.401)
[*Ed. In 1904, the Irish House(s) of Parliament had long become the Bank of Ireland. Built 1729 - 1739, it was the seat of both chambers (Lords and Commons) of the Irish parliament of the Kingdom of Ireland in the 18c. The statues represent Hibernia, Commerce, and Fidelity.]
