Fenian Movement

Famous quotes containing the words fenian and/or movement:

“Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder
The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;
Laughter and cries. The armies clash and shock,
And now the daylight-darkening ravens flock.
Cease, cease, O mournful, laughing Fenian horn!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.”
