So finally the romantic day of the year has arrived & as promised here is a bunch of short love quotations by famous Irish writers - they last longer than a bunch of roses !!

You are the last honey by the water no hive can find - (Austin Clarke)

Come live in my heart and pay no rent. - (Samuel Lover 1797-1868)

There is nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dreams - (Thomas Moore 1779-1852)

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity. - (George Bernard Shaw)

Women were made to be loved not to be understood. - (Oscar Wilde)

A pity beyond all telling Is hid in the heart of love- (William Butler Yeats)

So that's it for all my friends & colleagues until another year - back to business & "romancing" our clients!!






"Tis the night before Valentine's Day !!

As I promised yesterday, here is another quotation on the theme of love, from an ol' Irish realtor with a romantic soul !! This time a quotation from the famous 19th century Irish poet, William Butler Yeats who wrote:

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

Valentine's Day is one day closer !

As I promised yesterday, here is another quotation on the theme of love, from an ol' Irish realtor with a romantic soul !! A quotation of more recent vintage .......

The deeper I spin
The hunter will sin ... for your ivory skin ...
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing
At you and me ...
Halluijah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close !

(U2, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?)

Valentine's Day is coming!

As an ol' Irish realtor & history buff, I thought my fellow practioners of real estate might appreciate my sharing of some old & famous "Love Quotations" by famous Irish writers - I will post at least one a day till V-Day !

Here is the first ......


"Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all that we will know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you and I sigh." - William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Living Large !!

This will blow your mind when you consider the average home we realtors handle here on Boston's South Shore !!! This is well worth reading to see how the 1% live ..... the sale of just one of these properties would probably give the average realtor the equivalent of 5 - 10 years income !! Is this the ultimate American Dream or obnoxious excess?

Love to hear other realtor views ! So check out this link & post your opinion here.
