Quotes

“Faintly as tolls the evening chime,Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time.”
“Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast,The rapids are near, and the daylight's past.”
“Just as the mind the erring sense believes,The erring mind, in turn, the sense deceives.”
“Self is the medium thro' which Judgment's rayCan seldom pass without being turned astray.”
“Patience lingers o'er the weedy shore,And, mutely waiting till the storm be o'er,Turns to young Hope, who still directs his eyeTo some blue spot, just breaking in the sky!”
“A Persian's heaven is easily made:'Tis but black eyes and lemonade.”

Encyclopedic overview

Thomas Moore (28 May 1779 – 25 February 1852) was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist, widely regarded in his lifetime as Ireland's "national bard". The acclaim rested primarily on the popularity of his Irish Melodies (the first of ten volumes appearing in 1808). In these, Moore set to old Irish tunes verses that spoke to a narrative of Irish dispossession, loss, and resistance. With his romantic work Lalla Rookh (1817), in which these same themes are explored in an elaborate orientalist allegory, Moore achieved wider critical recognition. Translated into several languages, and adapted and arranged for musical performance by, among others, Robert Schumann, the chivalric verse-narrative established Moore as one of the leading exemplars of European romanticism.

In England, Moore moved in aristocratic Whig circles where, in addition to a salon performer, he was appreciated as a squib writer and master of political satire. Chief among his targets, in successive Tory governments, was Lord Castlereagh in whose promises of "emancipation" Moore believed his fellow Catholics in Ireland had been deceived. In the verse novel The Fudge Family in Paris (1818), and its sequels, he pillories the Foreign Secretary for employing the same "faithless craft" used to press Ireland into a union with Great Britain to accommodate restoration and reaction in Europe.
