Magennis - The Border Chieftains of Ulster

Famous quotes containing the words border and/or chieftains:

“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)

“Much wondering to see upon all hands, of wattles and woodwork made,
Your bell-mounted churches, and guardless the sacred cairn and the rath,
And a small and a feeble populace stooping with mattock and spade,
Or weeding or ploughing with faces a-shining with much-toil wet;
While in this place and that place, with bodies unglorious, their chieftains stood....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
