evidence: Kitty O’Meara / Kathleen O’Meara [...] As we liked the poem we searched online and came to a Polish website, Astraea et Amora, where we found the poem in a format that could have been translated from the Italian version. The website states the author being Kathleen O’Meara (1839–1888), pen name Grace Ramsay, an Irish-French Catholic writer and biographer during the late Victorian era. It specifically mentions that the poem "appeared in her second novel Iza’s Story about the struggle of Polish patriots against Russian, Austrian and German occupation. The book compares the Polish-Russian situation to the Irish-British situation and praises the revolt of a small nation against a great neighbour." We have ordered the book to verify the claim – the book has finally arrived… No trace of any poem, but looking forward to learning something about that part of history. [...] It states that an Italian poet and writer, Irene Valli, is claiming that Kitty O’Meara’s poem could be an adaptation of the English translation of hers, which is also inspired by coronavirus, but is definitely different, less concise. Her poem has also gone viral in Italy, and she has been interviewed a few times because it. We found Irene Valli’s first post on Facebook, 11 March 2020 (Italian original).
