Douglas Hyde Quote
The devouring demon of Anglicization in Ireland…with its foul jaws has devoured, one after another, everything that was hereditary, national, instructive, ancient, intellectual and noble in our race, our language, our music, our songs, our industries, our dances, and our pastimes—I know, I say, that you will plant your feet firmly, and say with us, 'Back, Demon, back!'
