Then in the lull of midnight, gentle arms
Lifted him slowly down the slopes of death,
Lest he should hear again the mad alarms
Of battle, dying moans, & painful breath.
And where the earth was soft for flowers, we made
A grave for him that he might better rest.
Francis Ledwidge – at Washington, DC

Oh, would it please the gods to split
Thy beauty, size, & years & wit,
No age could furnish out a pair
Of nymphs so graceful, wise & fair;
..
And then before it grew too late,
How should I beg of gentle fate..
To split my worship too in twain.
Jonathan Swift #IrishPoetry – at Washington, DC

It was a dim October day,
When clouds hung low on roof & spire,
He dashed his horse, to gallop pressed,
Along the old road leading west,
Where Liffey’s waters shimmering lay
Beneath the noonlight’s struggling fire.
Thomas Caulfield Irwin, (1823-1892), ‘Swift’ #IrishPoetry – at Los Angeles, CA
Only one more sleep, so here’s some Irish vocab for Halloween 🎃 or as we call it Oíche Shamhna 👻 @CUAMlanguages
CatholicU Irish Language retweeted
And sometime make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other
So that the ocean on one side is wild
With foam and glitter

Uachtarán na hÉireann/Président of Ireland, re-elected. “The people have made a choice... It is the making of hope they wish to share rather than the experience of any exploitation of division or fear.” 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 rte.ie/news/presidential-ele…

My great grand uncle, Thomas O Donnell, represented West Kerry as an MP for a number of years and in 1901 he was the first person to speak Irish in the House of Commons. This is a good read :)
