- Epigraph
- For I and mine have fought our way
'cross fateful gulfs and stranger,
and gained a new and fairer day
Past any fear or danger.
We shall not be the last who leap -
Many will follow after.
Though even the ste... (show all)rnest spirit weep
All tears shall turn to laughter.
We have the Highest's promise won,
Upon our hearts engraven:
"all gods and folk in peace shall come
and all souls find safe haven"

This one is for Patrick O'Kinealy, my great-great-grandfather and immigrant progenitor for whom I was named, and his sister Ellen who came over with him, and all the millions of other Patricks and Ellens who left Tir Gaedhil ... (show all)not in starships, but in coffin ships, driven from their homes to seek another land; to the ones who reached it, and the ones who did not, warriors all - an mhuintir a thainig rompu - failte romhat!
[And I really hope that is not insulting!]
Praise and thanks also to Willie Yeats and Walter Scott and Alfred Tennyson, they know why.
And all glory, love and honor t the highness that was, and is, and ever will be, Diana, Princess of Wales, whose royalty owed nothing to anyone but herself. - First words
- Twenty thousand years before the start of the Common Era, the Tuatha de Dannan, the People of the Goddess Dana, arrived on Earth as refugees from Numinore, a distant world whose star had gone nova.
