"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."
— Easter 1916, W. B. Yeats
Few poems in the history of the Irish nation carry the weight of this one. Written by W. B. Yeats in the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising, this magnificent elegy honours the men and women who gave their lives for Irish independence with a power, complexity, and haunting beauty that has never been surpassed. A terrible beauty is born — four words that changed Irish literature forever.
Printed in crisp black and white on luxurious textured fine art paper, this is a print that commands attention and demands reflection — a piece of Irish history, Irish poetry, and Irish identity all in one.
A profound and deeply meaningful gift for Irish history enthusiasts, literature lovers, and anyone who carries the spirit of 1916 in their heart wherever in the world they may be.
