Quotes by Maurice Walsh (?)

“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
