Post muros lapideous
hanc noctem tuti sumus
ab omnibus periculis
hanc noctern tuti sumus
(Behind stone walls
we are safe this night
from all dangers
we are safe this night)

Shadowed and full of fell portenis was the night that King Connaire came to the Hostel of Da Derga. Already the King had broken five of his geas, the constraints that may be put upon mortal or god to bind them at peril of their lives. Now he felt the hard hand of doom lying heavy on his shoulders as he came seeking shelter. Leaning upon the doorpost, he encountered a woman of cruel and strange aspect, with the bright, cold yellow eye of a vulture and a visage like the depths of winter. And although allowing her within would break the sixth geas, the King consented that she might enter when she mocked him for refusing her. When asked her name, she whispered, "It is Cailleach." "And have you no other?" Connaire asked. "O, a-many," whispered she with an icy smile. "Stormcrow, Battle Raven, She-Wolf, Doom-teller – these and more are all my names." She smiled again. "And truly, King Connaire, I foresee for you that nothing of yours shall escape from this place but what the scavenger-birds carry away for their young".

"В Христе Одном" (In Christ Alone)

В Христе одном надежда есть
вся моя жизнь и сила в Нём.
Он - Камень мой, скала и песнь
надёжный спутник в страшный шторм
Как высока любовь Его.
Как мир глубок, как с Ним легко.

The cruel King Vortigern decreed that a mighty tower should be built for his pleasure. But the tower collapsed before it was finished, and his magicians told him that he must sacrifice a child and lay the body beneath the cornerstone or it would never be completed. But it could not be any child — it must be the child Merlin, whose father was said to be a demon and whose mother was said to be a mighty sorceress. Accordingly Merlin was seized and brought before Vortigern, but before he could be sacrificed, he spoke with the voice of prophecy and held them all in silence. 'Beneath the cornerstone of the tower lies a spring; guarding the spring are two dragons, a white and a red, and it is their ceaseless striving that has caused the tower to fall. Dig beneath the cornerstone and you will release them to finish their battle in the sky above.' So they did dig at Vortigern's direction, and the dragons sprang forth even as Merlin had said.
