Easter Rising A Century Later


     I pause to commemorate the events without taking sides. Anytime that a disagreement leads to violence is bad, and I believe this was a case of things happened too quickly at in the midst of a war, there was not much time to reflect before action was taken.

     The Poem-a-Day was from William Butler Yeats, and I post a link to it below. Not often remember is that Yeats served as a Senator in the Irish Republic, and that he was a Protestant, belonging to the Church of Ireland. Actually that was Anglican, bur that was not  good choice of a name given everything else.
