Re: Stirpes Astral Theme
This thread keeps reminding me of the start of Monty Python’s Life of Brian:-
Quote:
Brian’s Mother : Astrologers, eh? So what is he then?
Wise Man : Eh….Capricorn
Brian’s Mother: And what are they like?
Wise Man : He’s the Messiah. King of the Jews!
Brian’s Mother: And that’s Capricorn, is it?
Wise Man: No no no, that’s just him!
Brian’s Mother : Oh, cause I was gonna say there must be a lot of them about

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
- Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596).
