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

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

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

Only one more sleep, so here’s some Irish vocab for Halloween 🎃 or as we call it Oíche Shamhna 👻 @CUAMlanguages

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

Just a few sleeps until Hallowe'en! This animation explains why Ireland is the #HomeofHalloween and which Samhain traditions travelled abroad with the @GlobalIrish! From turnips to spirits, we wish you all a Happy Hallowe'en - bain sult as Oíche Shamhna!
