...welfare of the whole nation. Next thing is to seek Cleanliness and Purity (washing the hands and if possible rinsing the mouth before approaching a shrine) and to avoid the contamination of Death and Blood.

The Germans call him Michael Maus, the French Michel Souris, the Spaniards Miguel Ratonocito and Miguel Pericote, the Japanese Miki Kuchi. Although his Christian name might be understood as an affront to Irish dignity, he has been respectfully reviewed in the Irish Statesman by Poet-Painter George ("AE") Russell. Great lover, soldier, sailor, singer, toreador, tycoon, jockey, prizefighter, automobile racer, aviator, farmer, scholar, Mickey Mouse lives in a world...
