Irish Rebel

Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or rebel:

“I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.”

““... Rebel against the flesh and bone,
The word of the blood, the wily skin,
And the maggot no man can slay.””
