    “Real holy laughter in the river! They saw it all! the wild eyes!

    solitude! waving! carrying flowers! Down to the river! into the street!”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    For Patrick Pearse had said

    Must Ireland’s blood be shed.
    From mountain to mountain ride the fierce horsemen.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
