Irish Set Dancing

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

    Concurring hands divide

    flax for damask
    that when bleached by Irish weather
    has the silvered chamois-leather
    water-tightness of a
    skin.

    I’ve tried to open the door. My knock isn’t that big a sound. But it is like the knock in “The Wizard of Oz.” It set up this echo through the halls until it was heard by everyone.
    Shannon Faulkner (b. c. 1975)

    Carmen: You’re cute. I like you.
    Philip Marlowe: What you see is nothing. I got a Balinese dancing girl tattooed across my chest.
