"Irish poets, learn your trade
Sing whatever is well made,
Scorn the sort now growing up
All out of shape from toe to top,
Their unremembering hearts and heads
Base born products of base beds.
Sing the peasantry and then
Hard riding country gentlemen,
The holiness of monks and after
Porter drinkers randy laughter;
Sing the lords and ladies gay
That were beaten into the clay
Through seven heroic centuries;
Cast your mind on other days
That we in coming days may be
Still the indomitable Irishry."
William Butler Yeats
(from "Under Ben Bulben") |

Saint Patrick's Breastplate
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me. |

The 5th Annual craic-head Saint Patrick's Day Observance will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2006 at the Craic House, 2 Spring Street, Morristown, NJ. The festivities will begin after the Morris County Saint Patrick's Day Parade. The parade steps off at 12 noon, so expect the party to begin around 3:00 PM. In all liklihood, this will be the last time we will have this party in Morristown. It's hard to believe we have been doing this for 5 years now, and every year has been a lot of fun. We may continue the tradition wherever we end up next year, but probably not on parade day. I hope everyone comes out for the craic this year. I'm sure it will be mighty! |
