An English journalist asked Irish poet W.B. Yeats
what he thought of the Irish Civil War, Yeats replied,
'I stand with the gunmen on both sides',
which caught the journalist off guard,
as it usually does when anyone agrees
more with the foot soldiers for change
than they agree with those who most seek power.
