Irish Sea Coast

Famous quotes containing the words irish, sea and/or coast:

    Irish Americans are about as Irish as black Americans are African.
    Bob Geldof (b. 1954)

    You and I were a couple of drunks on the sea of booze and the boat sank.
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)

    Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
    Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
    To increase a stranger’s treasures,
    O’er the raging billows borne.
    Men from England bought and sold me,
    Paid my price in paltry gold;
    But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
    Minds are never to be sold.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
