Disclaimer

This blog ran for more than two years with no graphics--and it received about 50 page views. I was advised to add graphics; after seeing the huge public that followed blogs dedicated to homoerotic images, I decided to use that kind. The result was a dramatically increased number of monthly page views, and the number has remained fairly steady. Most of the images were found on the internet; although they are assumed to be in the public domain, they are identified as far as possible. They are exhibited under the Fair Use protections of United States copyright law: their function is simply to attract readers to the poems--I receive no economic benefit from them or from the blog. Nevertheless, they will be removed if they are copyrighted and the owner so desires. 1260 x 290

IRELAND



And all around me the land of the Gael
The world’s garden, the world’s garland,

The landscape shown is in fact Irish.

Modern-day England is blanked out on the map. But the Britannia (mostly now England) that the Romans conquered was Celtic, and remained so until the Anglo-Saxons drove the Celts out.

I have just discovered a series of clips of spirited Celtic music, under the title Celtic Woman, at this URL:http://aomsoulfood.blogspot.com/2016/09/musical-performance-teir-abhaile-riu-by.html. Scroll down to the link to start the first one (they are on YouTube), and the others will follow.
