Fate
Although the government lost a great deal of support by the two general elections of 1910, they managed to hold on by dint of support from the Irish Nationalists.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“And though in tinsel chain and popcorn rope
My tree, a captive in your window bay,
Has lost its footing on my mountain slope
And lost the stars of heaven, may, oh, may
The symbol star it lifts against your ceiling
Help me accept its fate with Christmas feeling.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee;”
