Ireland3 quotes
No reptiles are found there, and no snake can live there; for, though often carried thither out of Britain, as soon as the ship comes near the shore, and the scent of the air reaches them, they die. — Venerable Bede · 731The God of nature never intended that Ireland should be a province, and by God she never will. — Thomas Goold · 1799This country of ours is no sandbank, thrown up by some recent caprice of earth. It is an ancient land, honoured in the archives of civilisation, traceable into antiquity by its piety, its valour, and its sufferings. Every great European race has sent its stream to the river of Irish mind. — Thomas Davis · 1846Countries1 quote
