Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or language:

    “Concurring hands divide

    flax for damask
    that when bleached by Irish weather
    has the silvered chamois-leather
    water-tightness of a
    skin.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    “There’s a cool web of language winds us in,
    Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
    We grow sea-green at last and coldly die
    In brininess and volubility.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
