Bolt and bar the shutter,
For the foul winds blow:
Our minds are at their best this night,
And I seem to know
That everything outside us is
Mad as the mist and snow.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands
I will find out where she has gone
And kiss her lips and take her hands
And walk among long dappled grass
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon
The golden apples of the sun

Fascinating and historic find at Lissadell by the Ladies' Walk, as we were transplanting primulas this morning:
A perfume bottle made by Parfumerie du Soleil Mecnarowski & Co. Probably owned by

, or given by her as a gift to her mother or sister-in-law.

My grandfather cut more turf in a day
Than any other man on Toner’s bog.
Once I carried him milk
.. He straightened up
To drink it, then fell to right away
Nicking and slicing neatly, heaving sods
Over his shoulder, going down and down
For the good turf. Digging.

#CountessMarkievicz
to the women of Ireland (1909)
Take up your responsibilities and be prepared to go
your own way, depending for safety on
your own courage,
your own truth,
your own common sense,
and not on the problematic chivalry of the men you may meet on the way.

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Once more the storm is howling, and half hid
Under this cradle-hood and coverlid
My child sleeps on. There is no obstacle
But Gregory’s wood and one bare hill
Whereby the haystack- and roof-levelling wind,
Bred on the Atlantic, can be stayed

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee
And live alone in the bee-loud glade
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
