'The aloofness [of the travelling people] and their fierce independence interested le Brocquy ... They became a symbol of the individual as opposed to organised, settled society, and of the growing power of the state, a symbol, also of the distressed and dispossessed people of Europe wandering, unlike the tinkers, without hope'.
(Ernie O'Malley, Horizon, 1946).
