“An entirely new factor has appeared in the social development of the country, and this factor is the Irish-American, and his influence. To mature its powers, to concentrate its action, to learn the secret of its own strength and of England's weakness, the Celtic intellect has had to cross the Atlantic.

What captivity was to the Jews, exile has been to the Irish: America and American influence have educated them.”

If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
