Someone asked me for a brief run through of the Saint Patrick poem.
stanza 1 and 2
a description of our Irish ancestors emigration to North America.
stanza 3
in ancient philosophy there was a tradition of Platonism which continued into the Early Church: the Truth was in the heavenly and unchanging realms far above the earth.
stanza 4
but the ancients of Ireland lived far below the eternal truths and were pagan until Patrick came.
stanza 5
celebration of the gifts of Ireland to the world.
