Mise Eire!
ádraic Mac Piarais (1879–1916)
Mise Éire:
Sine mé ná an Chailleach* BhéarraMór mo ghlóir:
Mé a rug Cú Chulainn cróga.
Mór mo náir:
Mo chlann féin a dhíol a máthair.
Mór mo phian:
Bithnaimhde do mo shíorchiapadh.
Mór mo bhrón:
D’éag an dream inar chuireas dóchas.
Mise Éire:
Uaigní mé ná an Chailleach* Bhéarra.
Anon:
I am Ireland:
I am older than the old woman* of Beare.
Great my glory:
I who bore Cuchulainn, the brave.
Great my shame:
My own children who sold their mother.
Great my pain:
My irreconcilable enemy who harrasses me continually…
Great my sorrow
That crowd, in whom I placed my trust, died.
I am Ireland:
I am lonelier than the old woman* of Beare.
‘I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on,’ cried she. ‘Come out of charity, Come dance with me in Ireland.’ One man, one man alone In that outlandish gear, One solitary man Of all that rambled there Had turned his stately head. That is a long way off, And time runs on,’ he said, ‘And the night grows rough.’ ‘I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on,’ cried she. ‘Come out of charity And dance with me in Ireland.’ ‘The fiddlers are all thumbs, Or the fiddle-string accursed, The drums and the kettledrums And the trumpets all are burst, And the trombone,’ cried he, ‘The trumpet and trombone,’ And cocked a malicious eye, ‘But time runs on, runs on.’ I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on,’ cried she. “Come out of charity And dance with me in Ireland.’

How to avoid costly phone premium rate numbers in spain. 902 Numbers are very expensive to call.
The site is http://www.nmn900.com/ – a web site which is an index of companies and their 902 numbers and gives their landline equivalent.
Okay, the site is in spanish but is pretty simple to use and understand. Just type in a companies name or their 902 number and you can find the normal landline equivalent.

Taking the Rays
My watercolour painting was chosen for the July calendar on Barebrush.com.
Terms of Engagement, Part I — Mikaela Sardo LaMarche, curator for ACA Galleries, NYC, had a clear objective for the July N*des-of-the-Month calendar. In the Call for Entries she was seeking “excellent technical skill coupled with a strong aesthetic sense….works that allow the viewer to enter the picture and…engage the composition and subject.”
Selected from over 800 submissions, the 31 excellent artworks in this calendar seem to express serenity and peace, something much needed in a world increasingly chaotic. Enjoy!
There are 31 artists represented in July, 2010.
You can also vote for “My Favorite N*de,” the poll which includes all of the art in the calendar. Please vote for July 20 here. Winners announced August 1st.
