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)

“What new thoughts are suggested by seeing a face of country quite familiar, in the rapid movement of the rail-road car!”
