#OTD in 1916 – Battle of the Somme Ends.
This dreadful battle claimed more Irish lives in combat than any other battle in history.

Anglo-Irish poet, painter, and radical mystic George William Russell, (1867 - 1935). He was a leading figure in the Irish literary renaissance of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Russell took up the pseudonym of AE, from a proof-reader’s query about his earlier pseudonym, 'AEon.'. He attended the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin, where he met the poet William Butler Yeats. Russell became an accounts clerk in a drapery store but left in 1897 to organize agricultural cooperatives. Eventually he became editor of the several periodicals The Irish Homestead (1904–23) and The Irish Statesman (1919-1930). The Theosophist visions that he'd had since he was a child were his major life's inspiration, particularly his paintings. His last hurrah was a lecture/speaking tour of the USA 1933-34.

David A. Hardy, Ocean of Space
* * *
Star Teachers
“Even as a bird sprays many-coloured fires,
The plumes of paradise, the dying light
Rays through the fevered air in misty spires
That vanish in the heights.
These myriad eyes that look on me are mine;
Wandering beneath them I have found again
The ancient ample moment, the divine,
The God-root within men.
For this, for this the lights innumerable
As symbols shine that we the true light win:
For every star and every deep they fill
Are stars and deeps within.”
— George William Russell (A.E.)
