Nor, for that matter, do I know why [...] the parliamentary enclosure at
Westminster is also connected with the first of the martyrs;
unless it be because St. Stephen was killed with stones.
The stones piled together to make modern political buildings,
might perhaps be regarded as a cairn, or heap of missiles,
marking the place of the murder of a witness to the truth
-Irish Impressions (1919)
