“And I place the nine pure choice graces In thy fair fond face, The grace of form, The grace of voice, The grace of fortune, The grace of goodness, The grace of wisdom. The grace of charity, The grace of choice maidenliness, The grace of whole-souled loveliness, The grace of goodly speech.”

Alexander Carmichael, Carmina Gadelica, 1900
