Raise your glass to celebrated author & UCD's most famous alumnus James Joyce, who was born #OTD in 1882. His seminal work 'Ulysses' was also published on this day, 2nd February 1922 (his 40th birthday).

The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring. - Ulysses

St Brigid's Day is #OTD. Brigid's actual existence is debated. She is given different birth and death dates. UCD-OFM MS A13, provides one of her death dates: 525. The full Irish text and translation may be found online as part of the CELT project (celt.ucc.ie).
