Irish Set Dancing

Famous quotes containing the words irish, set and/or dancing:

    The Irish say your trouble is their
    trouble and your
    joy their joy? I wish
    I could believe it;
    I am troubled, I’m dissatisfied, I’m Irish.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    And set off briskly for so slow a thing,
    Still going every which way in the joints, though,
    So that it looked like lightning or a scribble.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Interpreting the dance: young women in white dancing in a ring can only be virgins; old women in black dancing in a ring can only be witches; but middle-aged women in colors, square dancing...?
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
