Famous QUOTES from Ireland’s county TIPPERARY

“By night and by day I ever ever pray/ While lonely my life flows on/ To see our flag unrolled/ And my true love to enfold/ In the valley near Slievenamon.” – Charles Kickham.
“”Sure there’s Cashel, Tipp and Lorra, / Old Borris and Clogheen. / You can take me where I’ve never been before, / In Dundrum, Roscrea or Carrick.” ” (Daniel O’Donnell Any Tipperary Town”
Mountains in abundance sit on the perimeter of County Tipperary while strong-hearted rivers thrust through its central plain. Its rich land is calculated to set a seaboard smallholder dribbling with greed – Bryan MacMahon 1909-1998), Here’s Ireland (1971).
I never yet saw in Ireland a spot of earth two feet wide, that had not in it something to displease. I think I was once in your county, Tipperary, which is like the rest of the whole kingdom, a bare face of nature, without houses or plantations; filthy cabins, miserable, tattered, half-starved creatures, scarce in human shape; one insolent, ignorant, oppressive squire to be found in twenty miles riding; a parish church to be found only in a summer-day’s journey, in comparison of which, an English farmer’s barn is a cathedral; a bog of fifteen miles round; every meadow a slough, and every hill a mixture of rock, heath, and marsh; and every male and female, from the farmer inclusive to the day-labourer, infallibly a thief, and consequently a beggar, which in this island, are terms convertible. The Shannon is rather a lake than a river, and has not the sixth part of the stream that runs under London bridge. There is not an acre of land in Ireland turned lo halfits advantage; yet it is better improved than the people: and all these evils are effects of English tyranny. – Jonathan Swift, Letter to Dean Brandreth, 30 June 1732
Having passed through the quiet hamlet, there is an facile slide into Tipperary, a town that still possesses the Norman matte-and-bailey in many of its surrounding villages. In Tipperary itself there is a weather-stained statue of novelist Charles Kickham sitting patriarchally on one of the principal thoroughfares. Tipp-town was the birthplace of John O’Leary (Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone-it’s with O’Leary in the grave-W. B. Yeats complained). – Bryan MacMahon 1909-1998), Here’s Ireland (1971).
“The Wexford wheel carried me from Ulster to Tipperary, and though the roads were rutted, the beauty of the land and the warmth of its people made every mile a joy.” – William Bulfin (1863-1910).
“The Rock of Cashel, rising high above the plain, / A fortress of the kings, in Tipperary’s domain…” — Aubrey de Vere (1814–1902), from his poem “The Rock of Cashel”.
“The old homes of Tipperary, with their green fields and their hawthorn hedges, are dear to the heart of every true son of the soil.” – Charles Joseph Kickham (1828-1882).
“In Tipperary, the Golden Vale gleams like gold under the sun, fertile enough to feed a kingdom.” — Social meda
“The fields of Tipperary stretch wide and green, / Where heroes of old have trod unseen.” — traditional.
“Here’s a health to you, my darling, / Though you’re far away from me, / And to all the boys of Tipperary, / Who are fighting to be free.” – ThomasdDavis, Men of Tipperary.

Now the Ratschilds were the richest people in the whole world, and the head of them lived in Tipperary. (I’ll tell you afterwards how they came to get the money and the name.) –Eric Cross 1905-1980
