My son Donovan is just learning about his Irish roots. The magic of this day is that we are all Irish today, and the magic of this song is that it makes me homesick for a land where I have not been. Or, maybe I have.
‘I am of Ireland,
And the Holy Land of Ireland,
And time runs on,’ cried she.
‘Come out of charity
And dance with me in Ireland.’
—William Butler Yeats, I Am of Ireland
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
