[Daniel Mulhall @DanMulhall]

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

[Daniel Mulhall @DanMulhall]

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

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

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

[Embassy of Ireland, USA @IrelandEmbUSA]

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!

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.” 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 https://t.co/kOuuBZrGHD
