As a symbol of Ireland, the popularity of #shamrock grew as early as the 19th century as it was mentioned in many songs and ballads of the time. Among them, a ballad appears in the works of Thomas Moore whose ‘Oh the Shamrock‘ “embodies the Victorian spirit of sentimentality.”

Inspired by #literaryluck #shamrock, some flower and garden titles from my “read” shelf

Finding a book with a #shamrock on its cover was about as hard as finding a real four leaf clover. #literaryluck

I found this four leaf clover pressed between the pages of a vintage poetry book that I bought at a library book sale. #shamrock #literaryluck @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
