    Coinnigh go daingean mé
    laistigh don gciorcal draíochta
    le teas do cholainne
    le teasargan do chabhaile.
    Do chneas lem chneas
    do bhéal go dlúth lem béalaibh
    ní chluinfead na madraí allta
    ag uallfairt ar an má.

    Hold me in your strong
    Conjuring circle
    With the heat of your body
    The warmed, sound frame,
    Your skin on my skin
    Mouth on my mouth firmly
    I will not hear the wolves
    Howling on the plain.

    Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, from “Dún” [“Stronghold”], Pharaoh’s Daughter. Trans. Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin.

    I thought this was a lovely fragment, especially for Valentine’s Day.
