The Hosting of the Sidhe

modern-faerie-tales:

The host is riding from Knocknarea
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare;
Caolite tossing his burning hair,
And Niamh calling Away, come away:
Empty your heart of its mortal dream.
The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round,
Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound,
Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam,
Our arms are waving, our lips are apart;
And if any gaze on our rushing band,
We come between him and the deed of his hand,
We come between him and the hope of his heart.
The host is rushing twixt night and day,
And where is there hope or deed as fair?
Caolite tossing his burning hair,
And Niamh calling Away, come away.

By WB Yeats

Please don’t ascribe this to any recent current events but like… when Dick Cheney finally dies, I’m gonna need everyone to be at their most tasteless. I’m gonna need full-on disrespect for the dead, like, the sort of stuff that would get you thrown out of the funeral. I’m talking mockery that would in any other circumstances would stop his cold robot heart, and also the artificial pump he uses to keep it working. I’m talking “if you have a chance to glue a clown wig to the body before it goes in the ground, make it happen” disrespect. None of this “he was a patriot and devoted public servant” crap. Start planning your Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead party NOW

Just for clarity people reblogging this with comments like “just like when hugh hefner died!” and “woody allen too!” like I get it and celebrity creeps are evil but they’re not NEARLY in the same league. Dick Cheney is responsible for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deaths just so he could line his and his cronies’ pockets. He and George W. Bush are each individually more evil than all other evil americans alive today combined. There is no comparison.
