May you be blessed with the strength of heaven,
The light of the sun and the radiance of the moon,
The splendor of fire, The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind, The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth, and the firmness of rock.

~from the breastplate of St. Patrick

and live alone in the bee-loud glade."

-- WB Yeats
