Thank you. Tir nan Og = Land of the Ever Young or Happy Isles. In Celtic mythology, it is a heavenly place in another dimension. Mebbe it equates w/unus mundus? The Blaskets are tiny islands off Dingle in the west of Ireland. This poem comes fr a coll I call A SOFT IMMINENCE OF RAIN. If u like will post more of them........ Happy New Year to all! ao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Dearest Alice, I too loved that poem, I loved the rolling words and the atmosphere it conjured up. I pray for you a healthy, successful yet peaceful 2004. Let's hope that 2003 left no aftertaste, and go forward in hope What would I have done if I had never found these two lists? I would have missed a friend and wise woman whose books also helped me a lot. I cherish you, Alice. with much love, Toni I conjured the Tir nan Og - was he, the culdee, walking those Isles of the Blessed now on young sensuous naked feet bearing the stigmata of an earthly life which nails us all? I breathed deep the salt air a coarse benediction of aseptic tears and sought for a streak of sun among the unfolded fronds - where were his prayers? Dominus vobiscum my ancient, my most ubiquitous love! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 I am writing to the whole list which has been almost silent lately, to wish you all a prosperous, successful and enjoyable 2004 Christmas reminded us of peace, let the New year remind us of hope. Happy New year and love, Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
