[But now is not the time to discuss politics and the crimes of various nations, though that is something that Simon is willing to engage in, without much provocation. Instead, he nods.]
If you like.
[Simon recites a short verse, from one of his favorite Irish language poets:]
Anocht agus mé ag meabhrú go mór fá mo chroí Gan de sholas ag lasadh an tí ach fannsholas gríosaí Smaointím airsean a dtug mé gean dó fadó agus gnaoi.
[Though muted by the fact that he's being recorded, there's a trace of sadness rising in the words, unrelated to anyone's understanding of them: a flicker of Simon's power. But that's why he doesn't recite for too long.]
There's a lot to be said for passion. I'd prefer teaching from the heart to teaching solely from a book.
