From the Irish

According to Dineen, a Gael unsurpassed

in lexicographical enterprise, the Irish

for moon means 'the white circle in a slice

of half-boiled potato or turnip'. A star

is the mark on the forehead of a beast

and the sun is the bottom of a lake, or well.

Well, if I say to you your face

is like a slice of half-boiled turnip,

your hair is the colour of a lake's bottom

and at the centre of each of your eyes

is the mark of the beast, it is because
I want to love you properly, according to Dineen.
