Ere I return, ere I attain, ere I return from Uamh'n �?ir. 2. the young of the goats will be goats of the crags, and the little calves become greta kine. 3. Creel-bearing horses will be riding-steeds, and babes, borne in the bosom, men, bearing arms. But never more shall I return. </em><hr></blockquote>Preview: User name:  (must be completed)Enter password:  or check to post as guest: Link makerPlease read our notes on posting html.Contact us
