The following excerpt is taken from w. b. yeats's poem "easter, 1916," in which he examines his feelings toward those who took part in the easter rising in ireland. which lines suggest that yeats considered the rebels inflexible?
'too long a sacrifice
can make a stone of the heart
o, when may it suffice?
that is heaven's part, our part
to murmur name upon name,
as a mother names her child
when sleep at last has come
on limbs that had run wild.
what is it but nightfall?
no, no, not night but death;
was it needless death after all?
for england may keep faith
for all that is done and said.
we know their dream; enough
to know they dreamed and are dead;
and what if excess of love
bewildered them until they died?
i write it out in a verse--
macdonagh and macbride
and connolly and pearse
now and in time to be,
wherever green is worn,
are changed, changed utterly
a terrible beauty is born."

Too long a sacrifice

Can make a stone of the heart.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

in the 1890s, southern states enacted a new form of black codes, called “jim crow” laws. these laws made it illegal for blacks and whites to share public facilities. this meant that blacks and whites had to use separate schools, hospitals, libraries, restaurants, hotels, bathrooms, and drinking fountains.
