from A Celtic Miscellany: Translations from the Celtic Literatures
By Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson, 1971

A good season is summer for long journeys; quiet is the tall fine wood, which the whistle of the wind will not stir; green is the plumage of the sheltering trees; eddies swirl in the stream; good is the warmth in the turf.
- Irish, author unknown, eleventh century
