Large Irish

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or irish:

    If the hero is not a person, the emblem
    Of him, even if Xenophon, seems
    To stand taller than a person stands, has
    A wider brow, large and less human
    Eyes and bruted ears: the man-like body
    Of a primitive.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The next forenoon we went to Oldtown.... The Indian is said to cultivate the vices rather than the virtues of the white man. Yet this village was cleaner than I expected, far cleaner than such Irish villages as I have seen.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
