Or is it how I quiver at the thought of everything I'm too ashamed to beg him to do to me? Maybe it's all of those, but I'm pretty sure there's something else too.

In this A to Z field guide, you will dig beneath the pavement of modern tropes to understand the psychological architecture of the ancient Irish people.
