So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.

Bi socair — be still.

What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

Is treasa tuath na tighearna — the people are mightier than a lord. An old sentence from a wet country full of people who lost, and lost, and are somehow still speaking the language the losing was supposed to end.

Nobody upstairs can call and ask me to soften a paragraph about an Attorney General, because there is no upstairs. That is the entire product.

Today's issue took 2 hours and cites numerous linked sources. Such is the life of an indepedent and rather poor journalist.

Just discovered Ionnsaich for Scottish Gaelic. You can speak or type in English and get proper Gaelic back with pronunciation and audio. The AI partner makes it feel like chatting with a patient tutor. Great for community language projects.

“A poem which – in a single Neruda-esque sweep – takes in the beauties of the country & the sufferings of its poor & then sets both against a vastly wider historic background … A triumph.”

Thar na sìorraidheachd, thar a sneachda,
chì mi mo dhàin neo-dheachdte,
chì mi lorgan an spòg a’ breacadh
gile shuaimhneach an t-sneachda:
calg air bhoile, teanga fala,
gadhair chaola ’s madaidhean-allaidh…

—Somhairle MacGill-Eain, “Coin is Madaidhean-allaidh” (“Dogs & Wolves”)

Tha tìm, am fiadh, an coille Hallaig…
( Time, the deer, is in the wood of Hallaig…)

“In ‘Hallaig’, in this poem, MacLean, as a Gael, stands firmly at the centre of his world, and, consciously, close to the end of his world. As a poet, he shows us that the particular horizon and times that happen to encircle him, encircle us all.”
‍—Seamus Heaney

“Ever since I was a boy in Raasay, and became aware of the difference between the history I read in books and the oral accounts I heard around me, I have been very sceptical of what might be called received history…”
