| Jonathan Swift
Real vision is the ability to see the invisible. |
| Anon. North Cork, 1940s
Souls as White as Snow Thoughts of childhood Christmases rekindle a warm glow As I recall the magic of those days so long ago The atmosphere within our home of happy expectation - Of all the joys that lay ahead, so filled me with elation. Coming up to Christmas, the shopping should be done, Which meant the then rare pleasure of a journey into town Where mother went from shop to shop buying Christmas treats Fruit for the cakes and Christmas 'pud', some lemonade and sweets Bread and herbs for stuffing, biscuits, chocolate and a 'Sup' - To celebrate the 'Christmas' and cheer the adults up Next preparation was confession, which enabled us to go to receive Our Lord on Christmas morn, with souls as white as snow. |
| Oscar Wilde
It is only an auctioneer that should admire all schools of art. |
| Edna O'Brien
When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious. |
| Michael Collins
I want peace and quiet. I want it so much I'd die for it. |
