	Pictures, poems, pixies... POEMS: Midir and Etain
		Midir was lonely without his foster son's company so one autumn day, just before the feast of Samhain, Midir set off to visit Aengus Og.
		After a while Midir went to Etain's quarters to find her, for he couldn't bear to be parted from her for long.
		Midir set up the chessboard and waited for the king to make the first move, but Eochai was still reluctant to play.

	Midir
		In Irish mythology Midir (also spelled Midhir) was a god who, as all gods of both sexes had to do after being defeated by the Milesians, lived in the sidh of Bri Leith.
		Midir was the husband of Fuamnach, but later fell in love with Etain, receiving Aengus's help to make her his new bride; this provoked Fuamnach's vengeance against the young new wife, causing her several disgraces, until some years later Etain married Eochaidh, by that time the High King of Ireland.
		As Midir won, he asked a kiss from Etain as his prize, but Eochaidh refused, breaking his word and banishing Midir from Tara.

	LightCatcher Winery - Etain
		Midir's first wife, Fuanmach, was jealous of Etain and turned her into a butterfly.
		She was reborn, interestingly enough in the ways of gods and goddesses, as the daughter of Fuanmach and Midir, and eventually married Eochaid, a fertility god.
		Midir challenged Eochaid to a game of chess - winning this game, his demand was that Etain spend half her time in the Underworld, and half her time on earth...

	The Wooing of Etain
		Then Midir set out with his fosterling to have speech with Eochaid, and they came to Uisnech of Meath in the center of Ireland, for 'tis there that was Eochaid's house, Ireland stretching equally far from on every side, south and north, to east and west.
		Midir knew that it was Etain that was in that shape, and so long as that fly was attended upon him, he never took to himself a wife, and the sight of her would nourish him.
		Midir reproached Fuamnach exceedingly and said to her that she should not go from him were it not for the power of the sureties that had brought her.

		Midir had been a young warrior then and had played in that infamous game, and when he closed his eyes, he could still see the flaming haired Fir Bolg stalking the field like some angry god of war.

		Midir didn’t move when they entered the house together, but once he heard Aenghus’ soft snores almost immediately after lying down, he drew his own cloak up, and with a smile, went back to sleep.

		MIDIR (the MID-InfraRed Instrument for the E-ELT) is one of several instruments currently under study for ESO's future 30-60m optical/infrared telescope.
		The baseline of MIDIR is an AO-assisted, combined imager, medium resolution IFU spectrograph, and high resolution Echelle spectrograph for the wavelength range from 3 to 27 microns.
		The successful applicant is expected to work on a detailed instrument model for MIDIR, including the effects of the atmosphere, deriving the optimum operating schemes, assessing the need for a mid-IR tip/tilt sensor, developing an instrument simulator, investigating engineering trade-offs, and outlining the various calibration schemes.

		The stranger, who is Midir, a prince of the Fairy people, husband of Etain, and symbolises the Spirit, now leaves the entrance and comes forward, flinging wide his cloak, as if announcing himself the messenger of the gods.
		She looks at him in bewilderment, and when he kisses her hand she starts again, as though half remembering, then recovering herself, she prays him to sing his song, and he obeys in the words and melody used by the fairy people at the close of the first act.
		When Eochaid was offered his heart's desire, he could have gained the right to follow Etain to her immortal home, had he been content to sacrifice himself for her welfare, but because his love is selfish, he loses her objectively, and, though erroneously, feels that he has lost her irrevocably.

		It symbolised, I think, the winning of life back to the world after an enforced thraldom: the renewal of Spring: in other words, Etain is a Gaelic Eurydice, Midir a Gaelic Orpheus who penetrated the dismal realm of Eochaidh, and Eochaidh but a humanised Gaelic Dis.
		It is not Persephone, gathering flowers on Enna, whom legend remembers here, but the not less beautiful love of Apollo's son, slain by the treacherous earth in the guise of a grass-hid asp as she flees from her pursuer: nor is there word of Demeter, nor yet of Aristæus.
		For in the Gaelic mythology, Midir, too, is a son of light, a servant of song, a son of Apollo, being of the divine race of Oengus the SunGod, Lord of Life and Death.
