cuid súl cách ab ea í
mise á rá leat ...
Malaí faoi bhláth

she was some sight

I'm telling you...

Molly in full bloom

Magritte

scamall ag dul thar bráid is ea an saol fós féin . . .	our lives are but a passing cloud and yet . . .

'ní ar muin asail a raghair go Meiriceá!' lá margaidh	'you won't get to Amerikay on a dunkey!' market day

Seiju Omoda (cat)

cosantóir na hoíche - an cat de shíor ag teacht is ag imeacht

guardian of the night - the endless comings and goings of the cat

不寝番― 行ったり来たり 猫ひきりなし Leagan Seapáinise: Mariko Sumikura

Paritosh Sen

Cathair na Soilse iata ag an mbáisteach throm fearthainn ó mhaidin         ar na céimeanna ceocha         is ar cholainn leathdhóite

the City of Lights occluded by heavy rain pouring all day long         falling on the smoking ghats         and on a body half-burned

Hakuin Ekaku

moncaí mar mise ba cheart go mbeadh fhios agam sin iad na rudaí         tagtar orm aniar aduaidh         sínim lámh i dtreo na ré

a monkey like me should know better, beloved but what can i say         there are unguarded moments         when i still reach for the moon

Cúpla luimneach

 

A Wee Limerick

Hi, Donaldson! - DUP
I pee in the Lagan, you see
        The Liffey's a bit sniffy
        The Corrib's a bit iffy
And I'm damned if I'll pee in the Lee

Oui!

Mise Donaldson, DUP,
Cad é mar atá tú, a chroí
       Bhíodh Paisley ag rá 'No!'
        Is an ceart aige, ar ndóigh
Ó, ní maith liom an focal sin, 'Oui'
