"So, for each of them, this meeting by the river was a mysterious turn, a hiatus, a frozen frame in a violent action, a moment when those on either bank could see what was happening but not hear what was being said."
Something to Write Home About, Seamus Heaney.
September 1599. O'Neill and Essex meet at the River Glyde to discuss a terms for possible truce. O'Neill, on horseback, brings his horse deep into the river. Essex faces him on the opposite bank. Both are alone. There is no record of their conversation. Two years later, Essex was dead, an apparent traitor. Many years later O'Neill had fled Ulster and was in exile in Rome.
