Wet/politics

Famous quotes containing the words wet and/or politics:

“The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
