OUT-WORN heart, in a time out-worn, Come clear of the nets of wrong and right; Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight, Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn. Your mother Eire is aways young, Dew ever shining and twilight grey; Though hope fall from you and love decay, Burning in fires of a slanderous tongue. Come, heart, where hill is heaped upon hill: For there the mystical brotherhood Of sun and moon and hollow and wood And river and stream work out their will; And God stands winding His lonely horn, And time and the world are ever in flight; And love is less kind than the grey twilight, And hope is less dear than the dew of the morn.

Into The Twilight
SELECTED FROM THE IRISH NOVELISTS THERE was a green branch hung with many a bell When her own people ruled this tragic Eire; And from its murmuring greenness, calm of Faery, A Druid kindness, on all hearers fell. It charmed away the merchant from his guile, And turned the farmer's memory from his cattle, And hushed in sleep the roaring ranks of battle: And all grew friendly for a little while. Ah, Exiles wandering over lands and seas, And planning, plotting always that some morrow May set a stone upon ancestral Sorrow! I also bear a bell-branch full of ease. I tore it from green boughs winds tore and tossed Until the sap of summer had grown weary! I tore it from the barren boughs of Eire, That country where a man can be so crossed; Can be so battered, badgered and destroyed That he's a loveless man: gay bells bring laughter That shakes a mouldering cobweb from the rafter; And yet the saddest chimes are best enjoyed. Gay bells or sad, they bring you memories Of half-forgotten innocent old places: We and our bitterness have left no traces On Munster grass and Connemara skies.

The Dedication To A Book Of Stories
His wife, George, was present with flowers. Anne and Michael,his children, were there. A headstone had been carved at the Quarry, now all waited on Yeats to appear. Soft and damp was that day in the graveyard with the scent of turned earth in the air. Beyond rose the bulk of Ben Bulben, As the Lorry, with the poet, drew near. Ten years he had slept in his coffin, while the great nation states played at war. Now Sean MacBride, the son of his rival, brought him home, where he'd not been before. At his birth, Yeats was a British subject. By his death, a Dominion was here. Now they laid him to rest in the free state; the newly minted Republic of Eire. A bhean chéile, George, a bhí i láthair le bláthanna. Anne agus Michael, a pháistí, bhí ann. Bhí A cloch chinn snoite ar an Cairéal, gach fhan anois ar Yeats le feiceáil. Bhí bog agus tais an lá sin sa reilig leis an boladh de domhain iompú san aer. Beyond ardaigh an chuid is mó de Ben Bulben, Mar an Leoraí, leis an bhfile, tharraing aice. Deich mbliana bhí chodail sé ina cónra, agus an stáit náisiúin mór a bhí ag an chogaidh. Anois Seán MacBride, mac a rival, thabhairt dó sa bhaile, i gcás nach mhaith a bhí sé riamh. Ag a rugadh é, go raibh Yeats ábhar na Breataine. De réir a bhás, bhí Dominion anseo. Anois atá leagtha siad dó a gcuid eile sa stát saor in aisce; an bualadh nua-Phoblacht na Eire.

Ah, Exiles wandering over lands and seas, And planning, plotting always that some morrow May set a stone upon ancestral Sorrow! I also bear a bell-branch full of ease.

Dedication To A Book Of Stories Selected From The Irish Novelists
Starting way up north from from fair head in Antrim to mizen head in Cork there is not a Border Collie in the 32 counties wishing for a return to The Troubles before the Good Friday agreement when meat was forbidden by the Catholic Church because fish is for felines and it was seen by many canines as a blatant act of segregation, racism and even discrimination for which the animal kingdom of Eire (In the absence of a Monarch) has been audibly vocal in all of the four provinces, many of the nations kennel clubs and at last years Crufts Show in Earls Court London, a Kerry Blue refused to stand on the winners podium with a Poodle who shared first place, because she was a vegetarian and not at all sympathetic or supportive to a universal diet for all breeds on the island of Ireland.

Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days! Come near me, while I sing the ancient ways: Cuchulain battling with the bitter tide; The Druid, grey, wood-nurtured, quiet-eyed, Who cast round Fergus dreams, and ruin untold; And thine own sadness, whereof stars, grown old In dancing silver-sandalled on the sea, Sing in their high and lonely melody. Come near, that no more blinded by man's fate, I find under the boughs of love and hate, In all poor foolish things that live a day, Eternal beauty wandering on her way. Come near, come near, come near-Ah, leave me still A little space for the rose-breath to fill! Lest I no more hear common things that crave; The weak worm hiding down in its small cave, The field-mouse running by me in the grass, And heavy mortal hopes that toil and pass; But seek alone to hear the strange things said By God to the bright hearts of those long dead, And learn to chaunt a tongue men do not know. Come near; I would, before my time to go, Sing of old Eire and the ancient ways: Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days.

To the Rose upon the Rood of Time
An open Rosary, Sprawled on the table Has the shape of Eire. Towns joined like beads On winding, rope roads. At the end of the main street In Shercock, Lough Egish, Or a thousand other towns, Looms the church spire, God's rod. The square still bustles on Wednesdays. The smithy's forge Now lights up a Paddy Power; The Euro Store sells needles and thread Where once a seamstress sat; Shish Kabobs on flat bread sell Where the butcher's counter displayed the day's cut. But scrape away the paint And attend to the devotion and mystery Of small town Erin; Where only the pubs maintain names Decade after decade. There, on the wall, see the rebels Enjoying a football match, And the crowd, laughing, Has their backs.

The Erin Rosary
His wrinkles went somehow deeper 
than those of a national will do. 

And his eyes were somehow darker - 
not without a brightness in them -
 intelligence behind a film, foreign repose. 

I saw from the hood on his red coat
 that he was passing through the land
 not that the coat was novel or strange
 his hood was tighter, more practically donned.

 His whiskers were somehow thicker
 scratching the surface of the Great Land a beard from three days’ unshaven growth
 the stubble, wisdom of an Englishman. 

Far different than I, not better, but old
 emotions just a hair deeper hidden 
than mine were: shivering in the cold. 

I knew from his voice, his language: 
 mine was his, mine the younger.

 A shaman with a home on the Eire
 though not from that verdant spot 
souls are all equal, nation matters not. 

An infusion of Alastair’s yarrow root 
 diluted in cold, sprayed sea water
 coaxed home to the waves the sunlight 
our trust and a handshake.

Yarrow Root
Feel my breath blowing like a gale , the gael without fail, I inhale and exhale the flames of hell, Born hellbent-repent! you’re scurrying in gullies while I seek your Scent... SNIFFFF-grrrrrrrr! -that’s the sound of doom, You’re better off digging in a pharoh’s tomb, No room to escape the breath that melts cold steel You’re a rabbit in my headlights fear my moulten hot claws of steel, I breathe oxygen and nitrogen to exhale the red hot blast to seal your fate, Best debate, best berate, get your estate in order one blast of rhyme its all over. You’re a scorchmark against a granite wall, Been burnt to a crisp by the firestorm from hell, Well welcome to hell do you feel the heat? Sandman slim-dragon never fears defeat, 20 years here spittin’ in the underground, Now its time to take place in the sound that’s found, In an Irish no go area, the gates of Mordor, The Irish Dragon - draggin you to a state of ****** grrrr!-claws like claymore’s rake across your face as I prepare to ignite,take flight,seal your fate...

A well lit path is not part of my journey Mine's through a dark ally The thoughts that emerge from the shadows come in a hurry A savage flurry of the eire Physically consumed with how badly this could turn out for me ©2024

All this... O, this shall be his. He who in well-leaned doorways And oft-learned corners Hath resigned any byways To dream: “A tall order To rove in the mud And muck up one's soles” Says he who would trod Upon painless goals. Him safe in his womb, His wont wooden beams. Neglect to his comb and Plume and dusty seeds. “Who would fret in the rain?” He asks. “And why suffer venture?” “I've a cubby! Where's the shame In my hearth and decanter?” “I tell you all!” he says One night, in a fit. “Them's fools! They that count on the coldness and chance Of a bleak, backwards world In despotic hands. Come time, Come the end- You'll see what I have!” O, the mites and the mice And the crumbs and the cracks And the creaks in the night And the stock-still plants And the angles all learned And the steps all a measure And every walking turn And every processed pleasure And the patterns and ease With his paper and naps What is good on the knees And light on the back And the age and the greys And the frustrating lust And the well-worn ways And the old codger's fuss And the twilight come And the shadows of scythes And a final look back Through wondering eyes And the what-if's and why's Of the best girl in Eire And the laughter of kids In a moistening eye... And the plain wooden box And the standard rites And the empty expanse Of the graveyard night. And no crowd and no cries Just a man and ***** And pile of dirt Where ol' whats-his-name lays All this- O, This shall be his. -c. c. Condry

where in tarnation doth spam arise?
I know a land of salt and pepper stalks and moss, whose jagged, hazy coast a thousand flowers bears — of Ireland I boast. Even now my heart is sick for a home I never had. If I were there, what I would do, I'll tell to you.... I'd show my love the mountain's nooks, I'd pounce the foeman's daring rooks, and plunder every dusty book, and sleep in emerald vales. We'd clamber up to a secret cave and there we'd dwell, away from the pell-mell, and fast away in purple robes, pretending we were noble-born (for Ireland, we ought to be), we'd in defiance hunger stave. See now, her cloud legions marching in step like flares emerging from the wood. While horses roam her sunlit plains and flowers shudder in her breeze; while puddles form in shallow pools, my watered mind accustoms trees of bleak and twisted nature, on the wild icicle river, coldly biting my knees. But here afar away, there's treasure under every glistening leaf, 'twixt frond and fern, bristle and bramble, and bounding stream. By daylight, Eire counts every rock; at starlight, assesses her stock.

Her amber-gilded name spears through clouded sea and Cambrian cliff: if every isle were touched as this! by saintly light from Atlas' air. She is the jewel of the isles, the song of countless souls. As men march down her summer roads to meet their tender-hearted lovers at home in comfort from callous kings, the breeze will bring news of another christening or crossing... for then each girl will spy him coming, and make haste to alert the town, and they will all turn out with joy to welcome home their darling boy; to herald the ending of famine and war, and so they will shout for centuries more!

Sweet Ireland
I know a land of salt and pepper stalks and moss, whose jagged, hazy coast a thousand flowers bears — of Ireland I boast. Even now my heart is sick for a home I never had. If I were there, what I would do, I'll tell to you.... I'd show my love the mountain's nooks, I'd pounce the foeman's daring rooks, and plunder every dusty book, and sleep in emerald vales. We'd clamber up to a secret cave and there we'd dwell, away from the pell-mell, and fast away in purple robes, pretending we were noble-born (for Ireland, we ought to be), we'd in defiance hunger stave. See now, her cloud legions marching in step like flares emerging from the wood. While horses roam her sunlit plains and flowers shudder in her breeze; while puddles form in shallow pools, my watered mind accustoms trees of bleak and twisted nature, on the wild icicle river, coldly biting my knees. But here afar away, there's treasure under every glistening leaf, 'twixt frond and fern, bristle and bramble, and bounding stream.

"It’s time for more scorchmarks on the page, As the Dragon of Eire takes to the stage, Hear the page rip,under my claws, Bending reality,shaping the laws, Time and space switch place at my hest, Best come clean kid,make a clean breast of it, Skitz-rips opponents to bits-torn asunder, Lightning flashes from my claws-Steal thunder Is heard as I trumpet my triumph to the skies, Your Nemesis approaches-close your eyes, Now a hush falls over the crowd like a shroud, You’re crestfallen-Sandman stands proud… Roam your dreams,as the judgment shapes, eyes agog while your heads agape Draped and soiled,more lambs to the slaughter, Hear that laughter,lock up your daughters- From the harbors of Dubh Linn I set sail, Grim forecasts of the howling Gael, Are passed to your shipmates word of mouth, Eyes sealed up-tongues torn out. Drift down to the seabed more lost souls Mourn and wail as I lose control, Of the beast that that prowls from stern to prow, Some try to repel but soon stand cowed, As the captain begs for his wretched breath, Claws pierce his hide with the stroke of death, 10,000 lashes take a grisly toll, As the ferryman casts his net behold!- Grim spectres gold scepters lost chapters, Fever dreams trapped in dreamcatchers- All behold the lucid waves break, as The Nemesis sails and leaves a crimson wake…"

The Nemesis.
Moi Saint Paddy Fake Trump Petted Family Irish vignette At the tender age of fifteen years old, Aaron O’Harris boarded the Dublin gangplank and made a mental note to drop the “O” as this paternal grandson faintly recalls such anecdote told to me when just a wee itty bitty teensy weensy whipper snapper of a lad. His decisive gait echoed across the wooden walkway. Straight away (on that blustery march dawn – circa late twentieth century), he briskly boarded the ship that would shortly depart from the Emerald Isle and take him to America. My paternal grandfather quickly wiped away stray tears at the prospect of severing ties with a large brood of siblings. An abusive alcoholic father and passive mother would hardly notice the absence one son among a dozen plus offspring. Matter of fact, a voluntary choice to become an immigrant in the Matzoh land of milk and honey would translate as one less mouth to feed. The journey across the cold waters of the Atlantic began in earnest once the captain and crew pulled up anchor and instinctively oriented sights toward an invisible point thousands of miles distant. While on board the long journey, he (known in traditional Gaelic as Sainmhíniú) kept the tedium at bay and kept himself occupied with divers pursuits. An accidental trait eventually discerned in him from others to be a natural born leader by other passengers. A good many of these other fellow countrymen and women (many with small children in tow) shared the common goal of starting life anew in the United States, and discovered him to be adroit at not only playing such games as checkers, chess, cribbage, but adept with singing (in traditional Brogue), and performing fancy foot work. Improvisational songs (based on tunes from the home of Eire) evoked sadness at leaving the motherland (steeped in a rich history steeped in legend and lore), yet also excitement about beginning an adventure with countless opportunities to witness potential fortune or fame. Visions of streets paved with plenty of golden wealth brimmed and danced supposedly available and within easy reach for those who possessed pluck.
