Native Irish

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or irish:

    A native health and innocence
    Within my bones did grow,
    And while my God did all his glories show,
    I felt a vigour in my sense
    That was all spirit: I within did flow
    With seas of life like wine;
    I nothing in the world did know
    But ‘twas divine.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    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)
