Standard Irish

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or irish:

    When Freedom, from her mountain height,
    Unfurled her standard to the air,
    She tore the azure robe of night,
    And set the stars of glory there;

    flax for damask
    that when bleached by Irish weather
    has the silvered chamois-leather
    water-tightness of a
    skin.
