Everything's Coming Up Irish: A Song, A Quote, and A Quiz

I'm a little sick—just a cold, but a very annoying cold. I'm in no condition for thoughtful blogging, so I'm grateful to these bloggers who've contributed something Irish for me to link to.

• Kim of The Upward Call posts a song that I'll call an Irish lament.
• Missmellifluous, who knows much more about Irish literature than I do, contributes a post called "in which I succumb to the ineluctable attraction of irish literature." How's that for a title?
  
• Island Sparrow has taken a quiz to find out how Irish she is. Why don't you find out how Irish you are? Me? I scored 25% Irish, and I exaggerated to get a higher score.
