A' Cheiste	Question
"Carson," their iad, " a chaitheas tu d' àm a' dèanamh dhàn? B' fheàrr dhuit, air a' cheann thall, a bhith ri ceàird eile. An ceann thall dhomhsa a rèir a slat-thomhais-san. Ghineadh dhomh faillean, á spàrn dhiamhair; dh'fhas e tromham craobhach; chuir mi romham gum fàsadh e dìreach gus buil thoirt air slatan fiara. Victor Price	"Why," they say, do you spend your time making poems? It would benefit you more, in the end, to practise another trade." The end for me measured by their yardsticks. A tree was for me engendered by some mysterious striving; its branches spread through me; I decided it should grow undeformed to overcome deviant yardsticks. Victor Price
