Michael Collins (1890-1922):

Eamonn de Valera:
In 1966, while President of the Republic of Ireland: “It’s my considered opinion that in the fullness of time, history will record the greatness of [Michael] Collins and it will be recorded at my expense.”

Okay, this is the last of my (sort of) Irish-themed splurge. Hope you don't mind, Dawg, that I'm posting an entire song lyric. Sources differ over the lifetime of the writer, placing his year of birth anywhere between 1850 and 1859, but most seem to agree that he died in 1873. If this last date is correct, then I doubt very much a fourteen-year-old could written such weary words -- but then, I have had students with very precocious experiences, most not at all good. So, I leave it up to y'all to decide. Nevertheless, they are gorgeous words.

Spancilhill
Michael Considine, 1850/9--1873

Last night as I lay dreaming of the pleasant days gone by,
My mind being bent on rambling and to Erin’s Isle I did fly.
I stepped on board a vision and sailed out with a will,
‘Til I gladly came to anchor at the Cross of Spancilhill.

Enchanted by the novelty, delighted with the scenes,
Where in my early childhood I often times have been.
I thought I heard a murmur, I think I hear it still:
‘Tis that little stream of water at the Cross of Spancilhill.

And to amuse my fancy I lay upon the ground
Where all my school companions, in crowds, assembled ‘round.
Some have grown to manhood, while more their graves did fill.
Oh, I thought we were all young again at the Cross of Spancilhill.

It being on a Sabbath morning, I thought I heard a bell
O’er hills and valleys sounded, in notes that seemed to tell
That Father Dan was coming, his duty to fulfill,
At the parish church of Clooney just one mile from Spancilhill.

And when our duty did commence we all knelt down in prayer,
In hopes for to be ready to climb the Golden Stair.
And when back home returning, we danced with right good will
To Martin Moilen’s music at the Cross of Spancilhill.

It being on the Twenty-third of June, the day before the fair,
Sure Erin’s sons and daughters, they all assembled there.
The young, the old, the stout and the bold, they came to sport and kill.
What a curious combination, at the Fair of Spancilhill.

I went into my old home, as every stone can tell;
The old boreen was just the same, and the apple tree over the well.
I miss my sister Ellen, my brothers Pat and Bill.
Sure I only met strange faces at my home in Spancilhill.

I called to see my neighbors, to hear what they might say.
The old were getting feeble, and the young ones turning grey.
I met with tailor Quigley, he’s as brave as ever still.
Sure he always made my breeches when I lived in Spancilhill.

I paid a flying visit to my first and only love.
She’s as pure as any lily and as gentle as a dove.
She threw her arms around me, saying, “Mike, I love you still.”
She is Mack the Ranger’s daughter, the Pride of Spancilhill.

I thought I stooped to kiss her, as I did in days of yore.
Says she, “Mike you’re only joking, as you often were before.”
The cock crew on the roost again, he crew both loud and shrill,
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill.

But when my vision faded the tears came in my eyes,
In hope to see that dear old spot some day before I die.
May the joyous King of Angels His Choicest Blessings spill
On that glorious spot of Nature, the Cross of Spancilhill.

Like attracts like. just be who you are, calm and clear and bright.
Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute
*Is this what i really want to do?*,
doing it only when we answer *yes*,
Automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do and from whom we have to learn, as well.

Oh if a man tried to take his time on earth
And prove before he died
What one man’s life could be worth
I wonder what would happen to this world

[Dawg]

When you make a mistake don't look back at it long.
Take the reason of the thing into your mind
and then look forward.
Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.
The past cannot be changed,
the future is yet in your power.

"the road goes ever on and on
down from the door where it began,
now far ahead the road has gone
and I must follow if I can.
Pursuing it with eager feet,
until it joins some larger way
where many paths and errands meet
and wither then? I cannot say."

JRR Tolkien.

Men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, "How can he want me the way I look in the morning?" It's because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve.

I can`t believe noone posted a single Groucho Marx quote. Or maybe I missed it

this one got me laughing so much, its just brilliant-

"What do you say the three of us get married: You girls have everything, you're short and tall, and slim and stout, and blonde and brunette. And that's just the kind of girl I crave!"


"I drink to make other people interesting."

----Groucho Marx
