It was only after he escaped, probably to Brittany,
and ordained,
then visited by prophetic dreams,
that he returned to Ireland, this time the messenger of the gospel.
Patrick understood
that the monastic ideal of retreat
was perfectly matched with the needs of local royal clans.
So monasteries like Arran,
off the gull-swept Irish coast,
with their beehive cells and encircling stone walls,
looked like a stronghold, an encampment for God.
But what about the dragon slayers on the mainland?
Who converted them?
