“I will spread green rushes under her feet that she may step softly”
Maurice Walsh, Green Rushes

“but no man should need much”; and, as if to prove his point, hummed an old verse out of the Gaelic: If I had a singing brown thrush,   And a hound that well knew I was God, And a rose peeping out of a bush,   And shamrocks in the green green sod, And a little, little small house   And a red, red apple tree, I would thank the Almighty God   So good, and so good to me.”
Maurice Walsh, While Rivers Run

“Night was falling and rain from the Atlantic pelting us before we got home, and I was glad of a change of clothes and one stiff whisky - whisky of a subtle serenity that might draw to itself any lone man with a shadow on his soul.”
Maurice Walsh, Green Rushes
