An dà shealladh

[critical mass]

Leanne

I work harder on your poems than I do my own.
Google is a wonderful tool.

An dà shealladh....couldn't find this. I'm lost already.

I read billys response, couldn't find the correlation to Macbeth.

Cailleach....old hag...Doll made during harvest, passed from farmer
to farmer until the harvest is done.


I think this is a religious poem.
I have trouble with Alba unless it refers to a doll.

I think you are referring to Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Mary as a
disciple.

I hate it that you're smarter than me.

The first two stanza's are good.
The last two are excellent. Even if I have it wrong.





Found the meaning of the title with some research.

I have to remember that you're Scottish.

Now I think you're talking about Scotland or Ireland and the
different people who have inhabited them and their religious
views.

Still can't place the one-eyed winter.

I think the concrete scarring is streets or parking lots.
Three folds into one would refer to the people again
She(Scotland or Ireland) is one, despite the convergence of
different religious backgrounds.

mysts of Mary
Genesis beneath her feet
Cailleach cannot see a cross.

This must refer to christian beliefs trying to take hold.

I hope I got at least one of these right.

Cheers
David
