A liuthad soitheach a dh’fhàg ar dùthaich
le sgiathan geala a’ toirt Chanada orra.
Tha iad mar neapaigearan ’nar cuimhne
’s an sàl mar dheoirean,
’s anns na croinn aca seòladairean a’ seinn
mar eòin air gheugan.—Iain Mac a’ Ghobhainn, “Na h-Eilthirich” (Iain Crichton Smith, “The Exiles”)

Beltaine has come. The honeysuckle along Ponce de Leon opened over the weekend. The earth beneath your feet has been here through every empire that called itself eternal. Inhale four. Hold four. Exhale six. Hold two. Your body remembers that you have always known how to come down from a fight. Beannachd na talmhainn fo do chasan.

I liked this episode a lot, I thought it captured the multi-factored deterioration of the language playing out over a couple of hundred years.
While #AnGortaMór / #IrishFamine is one of the pivotal events behind the collapse of the language, it is far from the only factor

“As a patterned textile, [tartan] features straight lines, right angles, bright colours, and no ambiguity; as a symbol, its lines become fuzzy, its angles circular, its colours muddied, and its meaning polysemic.”
