William Carleton Quotes
I remember on one occasion, when she was asked to sing the English version of the touching melody ‘The Red-Haired Man’s Wife’, she replied, ‘I will sing it for you; but the English words and the air are like a quarrelling man and wife; the Irish melts into the tune, but the English doesn’t.’
