Irish Set Dancing

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

    Earth, receive an honoured guest:
    William Yeats is laid to rest.
    Let the Irish vessel lie
    Emptied of its poetry.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    The dreariest spot in all the land
    To Death they set apart;
    With scanty grace from Nature’s hand,
    And none from that of Art.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    I’ve learned one thing about life. We’re a good deal like that ball, dancing on the fountain. We know as little about the forces that move us, and move the world around us, as that empty ball does.
    Ardel Wray, Edward Dien, and Jacques Tourneur. Dr. Galbraith(James Bell)
