“The note of the white-throated sparrow, a very inspiriting but almost wiry sound, was first heard in the morning, and with this all the woods rang.

They evidently breed in that State.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The Irish are the only men who know how to cry for the dirty polluted blood of all the world.”
