1. Neu-Kelte 🌻💙💛🌻#FolkloreThursday #Celtic: `Guaire went to the fair of Taillte, having with him a budget or bag of silver to dispense to the men of Ireland. Now Diarmaid, the king of Ireland, charged the men of Ireland that none of them should ask anything of Guaire at the fair. Two days passed in this manner; on the third day, however, Guaire asked Diarmaid to send for a bishop for him that he might make his confession and be anointed.
‘How is that?’ enquired Diarmaid.
‘As I am near death,’ said Guaire.
‘How dost thou know that?’ asked Diarmaid.
‘I know it,’ said Guaire, ‘for the men of Ireland are assembled and none of them asks me for anything.’
Then Diarmaid gave Guaire leave to make gifts. Guaire proceeded to make gifts to everyone, and, if the tale be true, the hand with which he made gifts to the poor was longer than that with which he made gifts to the bards. Then Diarmaid made peace and agreement with Guaire in presence of the men of Ireland, and they were thenceforth on friendly terms with each other.`
