#BookologyThursday #Celtic: `Brian struck himself and his brothers with his Druid rod, and changed them into beautiful hawks. And they flew towards the garden of the Hesperides, and the watchers took notice of them and shouted on every side of them, and threw showers of spears and darts, but the hawks kept out of their reach as Brian had bade them, till all the spears were spent, and then they swept down bravely on the apples, and brought them away with them, without so much as a wound.`
