Thread Name: BS: Irish Gaelic Translation
Subject: RE: BS: Irish Gaelic Translation
This is a nifty thread. ;) When I was playing Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" about ten years ago (yikes!) I got really inspired one night (who wouldn't?) and wrote a poem about Robin Goodfellow as a relative of the sidhe. I'm still rather proud of it, though in general my poetical skills leave much to be desired. ;) Anyway, for some reason one day I grabbed an Irish dictionary and attempted a free translation, which as you can imagine was not an unqualified success. However, I was lucky enough to have a lovely Irish friend who corrected the translation for me (and said he liked it better in Irish than in English...ouch! ;))

Anyway, just had to share. *g*
