John Griogair Bell - Arlecchino Malbenvolio

So, I read, over the break, the book “How the Irish saved civilization”
by Thomas Cahill. I noticed a latin version of a quote from PALOD, which
appears to the source for the quote found in one of our readings.

Anyhow, the latin is “Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto” and comes from a Roman comedy by Terence.

I decided to do a search using google, and found this interesting site
that speaks about this quote:

Anyhow, I thought I’d share that.

Invoke:
Hail to the Guardians of the Watchtowers of the WEST
It is on bended knee, I pray
at the edge of your holy well
with lips and tongue partake
of your sacred water of life.
It is from the west I began
my journey to the light,
and in the 100 trillion sacred wells
of my body I carry your message
of peace and power,
of compassion and community.
It is is a morning dew of awe
that I thank you for my life.
It is in a tidal wave of joy
that I thank you for family,
friends and love.
Welcome WEST.
Blessed Be!

Devoke:
Ah, WEST!
By the grace of you go I.
May I always taste you on my lips
and feel you in my heart.
Go if you must,
Stay if you will.
Hail and farewell.
Blessed Be!
