"Their (the Irish) love of society is as remarkable as their curiosity
is insatiable; and their hospitality to all comers, be their own poverty
ever so pinching, has too much merit to be forgotten.
Pleased to enjoyment with a joke, or witty repartee, they will repeat it
with such expression, that the laugh will be universal."
Arthur Young, Tour In Ireland
An Irish Blessing
May you live a long life, full of gladness and health,
With a pocket of gold as the least of your wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest, be those which come true,
The kindness you spread, keep returning to you.
May the friendships you make, be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds be small one for sure.
And trusting in Him, to whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart, every step of the way.
Grace E. Easley
