“Sleep well sweet angel, let no fears of ghouls disturb thy rest, for above thy shrouded form lies a torpedo, ready to make minced meat of anyone who attempts to convey you to the pickling vat.” Those creative victorians. A fascinating illustration showing an idea of how to deter a grave robber.

"As down the glen I rode again and my heart with grief was sore For I parted then with valiant men whom I never shall see more But to and fro in my dreams I go and I kneel and pray for you For slavery fled, oh glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew" The Republican Plot, Glasnevin Cemetery.

The Sacred Fire by Dora Sigerson Shorter "They lit a fire within their land that long was ashes cold, With splendid dreams they made it glow, threw in their hearts of gold. They saw thy slowly paling cheek and knew thy failing breath, They bade thee live once more, Kathleen, who wert so nigh to death. And who dare quench the sacred fire, and who dare give them blame, Since he who draws too near the glow shall break into a flame ? They lit a beacon in their land, built of the souls of men, To make thee warm once more, Kathleen, to bid thee live again". Happy World Poetry Day.
