Invocation 
I
(read along)

I invoke the land of Ireland.
Much-coursed be the fertile sea,
Fertile be the fruit-strewn mountain,
Fruit-strewn be the showery wood,
Showery be the river of water-falls,
Of water-falls be the lake of deep pools,
Deep pooled be the hill-top well,
A well of the tribes be the assembly,
An assembly of the kings be Tara,
Tara be the hill of the tribes,
The tribes of the sons of Mil,
Of Mil be the ships the barks,
Let the lofty bark be Ireland,
Lofty Ireland Darkly sung,
An incantation of great cunning;
The great cunning of the wives of Bres,
The wives of Bres of Buaigne;
The great lady Ireland,
Eremon hath conquered her,
Ir, Eber have invoked for her.
I invoke the land of Ireland.
-Amergin (The Conquest of 
the Sons of Mil)

The man=Flann O'Brien!

Catechism of Clich`e

What, as to the quality of solidity,

imperviousness, and of what

firmness,are facts?
Hard.
And as to temperature?
Cold. 

With what do facts share this 

quality of frigidity?
Print.
To what do hard facts 

belong?
The Situation.
And to what does a cold fact

belong?
The matter.
What must we do to the

hard facts of the situation?
Face up to the 

hard facts of the situation.
What does a cold fact

frequently still do?
Remain,
And what is notoriously useless 

as a means of altering 

the hard facts of the situation?
All the talk in the world.
Is this killing you?

It certainly is!

 Gaelic Counter
You see,it is very trendy now to have a
"counter"
at the end of a Web Page. We did not want you
to leave dissapointed so we have taken great pains
to install a" Celtic Counter" for your pleasure and amusement!
Another man from the book of kells is here!

With a LOUD voice read the following lines:

a haon

a d/o

a tri

a ceathair

a c/uig

a s/e

a seacht

a hocht

a naoi

a deich

(One can,perhaps,not be sure if one can count
on the Irish) but, what is sure is that you just
counted IN Irish!
Remember that you came to see us because we
are not keeping track!-We did however,thoroughly,
enjoy your visit! Stop in again!
