Famous quotes related to vinegar hill:

    “Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
    Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
    The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
    They buried us without shroud or coffin
    And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “My grandfather fell on Vinegar Hill,
    And fighting was not his trade;
    But his rusty pike’s in the cabin still,
    With Hessian blood on the blade.’”
    —Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
