Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Michael Davitt: With a History of the Rise and Development of the Irish National Land League "Who remember the past - the days gone by, Long wept in song and story; When the hunted priest to a cave should fly, Or some mountain hollow hoary; When your sires´ blood was the gibbets´ dye, And their shame their tyrants´ glory? "Who remember the past - the fearful past - Its deeds of blood and slaughter; When the rush of the midnight´s moaning blast And sob of the surging water But echoed the dirge of your land downcast ´Neath the wrongs the alien wrought her?" - Merva. "Who remember the past - the fearful past?" asks the poet! Who, being of Celtic birth or blood, or of any race, that having read the dark pages of Ireland´s history - a history of blood and tears - a history born of a monster from a nation´s travail - can ever forget the past, or fail to discern the clank of the slave-chain which binds it to the present?
