| William Allingham
Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt. |
| Attributed to Oscar Wilde's Cleaning lady
"I think people should be allowed to do what they want, as long as they don't do it in the street and frighten the horses." Notes: when she testified at his trial. |
| From The Western Island by Peig Sayers
There are so many strange things in the world beyond our knowledge, and maybe there are ghosts too, though I do not understand why they should come back to this world when they have gone from it. |
| Attributed to Peig Sayers in 'The Western Island'
If curses came from the heart, it would be a sin. But it is from the lips they come, and we use them only to give force to our speech, and they are a great relief of the heart. |
| Sir Shane Leslie
What is that curling flower of wonder As white as snow, as red as blood? When death goes by in flame and thunder And rips the beauty from the bud. They left his blossom, white and slender Beneath Glasnevin's shaking sod; His spirit passed like sunset splendour Unto the dead Fiannas' God. Good luck be with you, Michael Collins, Or stay or go you far away; Or stay you with the folk of fairy, Or come with ghosts another day. |
