[Christian]

A book full of wonderful prayers, readings, and poems from Scotland and Ireland on the left pages and from Wales on the right pages--definitely a book worth reading for Christians! Here's just an excerpt from the last entry in the book:

Darkness tends towards light

Sweet as the honeycomb,
And nourishing and healing,
Are all heaven's chastisements
And the strokes of my Father's rod:
Each cross, each woe, each strong wind
Ripens saints for heaven.

[Laura Verret]

This was my first exposure to Celtic verse, and I am quite struck by it. It has a bold, simple style which belies its richness and its repetitions of key phrases make it chant-like. The fact that it has a distinctly medieval flavor also doesn't hurt it any. ;)
