The Dublin Evening Standard was a short-lived Irish newspaper that was published from 10 January to 23 May 1870. In May 1870 the newspaper ceased publication. Its title was incorporated with its main evening rival, the Dublin Evening Mail.
Little is known about its ownership. Copies of its editions are available on microfilm in the National Library of Ireland.
Famous quotes containing the words evening and/or standard:
“The skreak and skritter of evening gone
And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,
The sorrows of sun, too, gone . . . the moon and moon,
The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
In measureless measures, not a bird for me....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“This unlettered man’s speaking and writing are standard English. Some words and phrases deemed vulgarisms and Americanisms before, he has made standard American; such as “It will pay.” It suggests that the one great rule of composition—and if I were a professor of rhetoric I should insist on this—is, to speak the truth. This first, this second, this third; pebbles in your mouth or not. This demands earnestness and manhood chiefly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
