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!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
