Louis MacNeice Quotes

A City Built Upon Mud;
A Culture Built Upon Profit;
Free Speech Nipped In The Bud,
The Minority Always Guilty.
Why Should I Want To Go Back
To You, Ireland, My Ireland?
...
Her Mountains Are Still Blue, Her Rivers Flow
Bubbling Over The Boulders.
She Is Both A Bore And A Bitch;
Better Close The Horizon,
Send Her No More Fantasy, No More Longings Which
Are Under A Fatal Tariff.
For Common Sense Is The Vogue
And She Gives Her Children Neither Sense Nor Money
Who Slouch Around The World With A Gesture And A Brogue
And A Faggot Of Useless Memories.
