Ghost Condition

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or condition:

    The horn, the hounds, the lank mares coursing by

    And the fox, lovely ritualist, in flight
    Offering his unearthly ghost to quarry;
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Irishness is not primarily a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition of being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it.
