lee quotes

For thefuture I cease,Deathapproaches with little delay, Since the dragons of Laune and Lane and Lee are destroyed; I'll follow the heroes far from the light of day, The princes myancestors followed before Christ died.

- Egan Gaelic name  Aodhaga  n OŁ   Rathaille O'Rahilly
c.1729  Closing lines of his last known poem, translated from the Irish by Owen Dudley Edwards.

In a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland, At the sea-down's edge between windward and lee, Walled round with rocks as an inland island, The ghost of a garden fronts the sea.

- Algernon Charles Swinburne
