Original text
I'm not the man I thought I was or thought I would become. I don't know what I am, because I'm not where I came from. The fields of Tipperary bore a poet who fled through the port at Londonderry shore aboard the Montesquieu. The steep Salerno hills, beside the Tyrrhenian Sea bore a soldier who wore the pride of Southern Italy. Successor to the days and knights and sheriffs of the Ayr by way of Norman socialites: their lost, unwitting heir. This fragmentary history perplexes, yet is some hereditary mystery that's mine to overcome.
