Under Ben Bulben to the meet,
The beauty of her country-side
With all youth’s lonely wildness stirred,
She seemed to have grown clean and sweet
Like any rock-bred, sea-borne bird....”

“In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.”
