Royal Irish

Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or irish:

“High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”

seldom have mothers
in Irish stories, but they all have grandmothers.”
