an Tighinn Dara

A' cuartalan 's a' cuartalan sa slugan mèananach cha chluinn an seabhag a seabagair; tuitidh rudan às a chèile; cha sheasidh am meadhan; tha dìreach ain-rian leigte mu sgaoil air an t-saoghal, tha an làn dubh-fala leigte mu sgaoil, 's anns gach àite tha an deas-ghnàth neochiontais bàthte; iad as fhèarr gun cinnt, neas iad as mìosa làn de dèinead lasanta.

Gu fìrinneach, tha taisbean làimh rinn; Gu fìrinneach, tha an Tighinn Dara làimh rinn. An Tighinn Dara! Cha robh na faclan a-mach Nuar chur tionnail mhòr às Spiritus Mundi trioblaid air mo shùil; badeigin sa bacannan fàsaich cumadh le corp lèanhainn agus ceann fir, sgeann cho bàn agus neo-thrusacante ris a' Ghrian, a' gluasad a sliasan slaodach, treis timcheall a' ruidhleadh sgàilean de na eun-fàsaich diomach. Tùirl dorchas a-rithist, ach a-nis bha fios agam gu robh figead linnteann de cadail càrnach dorranaichte do trom-laighe le creathal turcadh. Agus dè biast garbh, a h-uair thàinig fa dheireadh, a' sliùbhd chun Betlehem 'son a bhreith?

Cuiribh mi Ceart

dìoghrasach, seach lasanta? an urrian dhomh a chleachd thimcheall gun cuspair? a bheil an verbal adjective ceart air 'fighean linnteann... dorranaichte'?

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

William Butler Yeates, "The Second Coming"

(these were in a more logical / pleasing order and then tumblr ate half of them and i couldn't make them rearrange once i put them back, sorry)

A Drinking Song

by W.B. Yeats

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die. I lift the glass to my mouth, I look at you, and I sigh.
