"The proofreader at Ace was asleep on the job when this came out. Inconsistent punctuation, spelling that flips for no reason between US and UK usage, and words that are just outright misspellings. I can forgive the made-up contractions and dialect speech because that at least has a purpose even if it is too much like {author:Joel Chandler Harris|7320] But the rest I wish they had had a more attentive proofreader." — Jul 16, 2023 03:14PM

“Craiceann a shníonn
go gléineach thar do ghéaga
mar bhainne á dháil as crúiscíní
am lóin
is tread gabhar ag gabháil thar chnocáin
do chuid gruaige
cnocáin ar a bhfuil faillte arda
is dhá ghleann atá domhain.

“An cinniúnt, is dócha: féach an féileacán úd thall atá ag foluain os cionn mo choinnle. Ní fada go loiscfear a sciatháin mhaiseacha: cá bhfios dúinne nach bhfuil a fhios sin aige, freisin?”

“Mo Sheanmháthair
Ar ais arís lá breá Lúnasa
Canach geosadáin ar foluain
Ar chuile leoithne ghaoithe
Do theach ina sceatraigh
Na cróite ina snaois,
Airím arís ceol na mblianta dearmadta,
Drumadóireacht an bhanna práis
Ag máirseáil síos an bóthar,
Tusa led' sciortaí ardaithe
Ag damhsa ar an screabán
Do sheachtar óg
Náire shaolta fút
Ina bhfál ceilte os do chomhair
Le nach bhfeicfeadh na comharsain
Meidhréis do dhamhsa.”

“Damn everything but the circus! ...damn everything that is grim, dull, motionless, unrisking, inward turning, damn everything that won't get into the circle, that won't enjoy. That won't throw it's heart into the tension, surprise, fear and delight of the circus, the round world, the full existence...”
