Mother Rooney

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or rooney:

    When over the houses, a golden illusion
    Brings back an earlier season of quiet
    And quieting dreams in the sleepers in darkness
    The moon is the mother of pathos and pity.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship, unseen by the midday
    suns,
    You’ll find the chaps who are giving the raps—the men behind the guns!
    —John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
