Quotes

  • I do not know what age I am,I am no mortal age;I know nothing of women,Nothing of cities,I cannot dieUnless I walk outside these whitethorn hedges.
  • Mullahinsa, Drummeril, Black Shanco-Wherever I turn I seeIn the stony grey soil of MonaghanDead loves that were born for me.
  • I loved too much and by such and such is happiness thrown away.
  • I inclinedTo lose my faith in Ballyrush and GortinTill Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind.He said: I made the Iliad from suchA local row. Gods make their own importance.
  • O commemorate me where there is water, Canal water, preferably, so stillyGreeny at the heart of summer. BrotherCommemorate me thus beautifullyWhere by a lock niagarously roarsThe falls for those who sit in the tremendous silenceOf mid-July.
