Curds in Song and Poetry
Curds are mentioned in the Middle Irish parodic tale The Vision of Mac Conglinne, the relevant portion of which reads:
Stately, pleasantly it sat,
A compact house and strong.
Then I went in:
The door of it was dry meat,
The threshold was bare bread,
cheese-curds the sides.
Smooth pillars of old cheese,
And sappy bacon props
Alternate ranged;
Fine beams of mellow cream,
White rafters - real curds,
Kept up the house.
Curds also appear in the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet.

“To you, God the Singer, our voices we raise,
to you Song Incarnate, we give all our praise,

“Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
