An anonymous person writes:
Check out this article in the Saturday 28th June edition of the Irish Times newspaper. Joseph O'Connor, a renowned Irish writer, responds to Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as part of a series in association with Amnesty International to mark the 60th anniversary of the declaration.

ARTICLE 1
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

The title of the article is Pages from an alien Dictionary where O'Connor imagines what an alien species might think of the human race in terms of our approach to love and quotes from an assortment of singers, poets, writers, thinkers, etc. The relevant section relating to Morrissey goes as follows:

You have never been in love until you've watched the dawn rise on the Home for the Blind (Dr Stephen P Morrissey, perhaps the strangest of their species)
