Amergin - First Poet of Ireland
The bard whose song claimed the land of Ireland for the Milesians.
When the Milesians came to Ireland, their poet Amergin sang a song of unity with all nature - claiming kinship with wind, wave, sun, and stone. This song claimed the land through spiritual affinity rather than conquest, teaching that poetry has the power to bind worlds.
I am the wind on the sea; I am the wave of the ocean; I am the sound of the sea.
Amergin's song represents the druidic understanding of poetry as creative power.
