マッケニットの作品にはいつも精神性が顔をのぞかせている。
イェーツや聖書あるいは自作詞のどれに曲をつけようとも、彼女の歌は常に精神性を追い求めているのだ。だからこそリスナーはマッケニットの音楽に惹きつけられる。本作も例外でなく、けだるいリズムの「Marco
Polo」、厳粛な喜びの「The Mummers' Dance」、痛ましい「Skellig」「Dante's
Prayer」、アルフレッド・ノイズの詩に曲をつけた「The Highwayman」のどれをとってもその姿勢は変わらない。
なかでも「The
Highwayman」は、初期のナンバー「The Lady of
Shalott」と比べても力強い労作だ。
音楽で物語を語る腕前はさらに上達していると言える。本作はさまざまなレベルで楽しめる音楽であり、それというのも、マッケニットの作曲者としての能力が今なお伸びつづけ、自作の詩が投げかける奥深い問いかけにふさわしい曲作りをしているからだ。（Genevieve

Parallel Dreams Dickens' Dublin (The Palace) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQNQRpxOHqo
Joyful mystery, the birth of our Lord...This night our Lady and St.Joseph was going up to get registered and, um,
they were going down the road and they met this man and he said "Have you any room?"
and he said, "No, but there's an old stable over there that I owned,if
yous want to go into it."
And they went over and the Lord came down from the heaven at twelve o'clock
and loads of beautiful angels was with them, and when they were walkin'...
(歌)
I walk the streets of Dublin town. It's eighteen forty-two. It's snowing
on the Christmas Eve. Think I'll beg another bob or two.
I'll huddle in this doorway here 'Til someone comes along. If the lamp lighter comes real soon.
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home. Maybe I can find a home I can call my own.
... These three wise kings, um, they were all from different countries.And
they always used to look up at sky and they looked uo this night and saw
this beautiful star up in the sky. And when they were going they all meeted
together and they had to pass King Herod's,not that we much care for him.
And they went in and he said, "Where ye goin' with yer best stitches
on ye?"
(歌)
The horses on the cobbled stones go by. Think I'll get one, one fine day.
And ride into the countryside. And very far away.
But now as the daylight disappears. I best find a place to sleep. Think
I'll slip into the bell tower. In the church just down the street.
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home. Maybe I can find a home I can call my own.
... And they said,"Did you not hear the news?" and say he says,"What
news?" He says,"This day the Savior is horn."
And he says to them, "When you find him come back and tell me 'cause
I want to go and adore him too."
And he was only coddin' them. He wanted to kill him. And when they were
going, they stopped and they said,
"Surely not this ols stable that our King is born in. We were expecting
a palace."
(歌)
Maybe on the way I'll find the dog I saw the other day. And tuck him underneath
my jacket. So we'll stay warm through the night.
And as we lie in the bell tower high. And dream of days to come. The bells
o'er head will call the hours. The day we will find a home.
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home. Maybe I can find a home I can call my own.
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home. Maybe I can find a home I
can call my own.
... There was these shepherds and shepherds are fellas that mind the foals
and cows and sheeps and little lambs and all and, um,
they hears this beautiful music up in the sky and they were wondering what
was so fun. An angel disappated them and he sais,"I was wonderin!
what was so fun" and he said ye, and he said,"The savior is born.
If yous want to go see him, follow that star up in the sky," and it
was a beautiful star.
