Famous quotes containing the words united, kingdom and/or ireland:

    America—rather, the United States—seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, overfriendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The schnuckle among the nations of the world.
    Edna Ferber (1887–1968)

    The masses of the sea
    The masses of the sea under
    The masses of the infant-bearing sea
    Erupt, fountain, and enter to utter for ever
    Glory glory glory
    The sundering ultimate kingdom of genesis’ thunder.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.
    I thirst for accusation. All that was sung.
    All that was said in Ireland is a lie
    Breed out of the contagion of the throng,
    Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
