“It is always better
to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.

means waiting for our end. Let whoever can
win glory before death. When a warrior is gone,

― Seamus Heaney, Beowulf

“Out of Ireland have we come.
Great hatred, little room,
Maimed us at the start.
I carry from my mother's womb
A fanatic heart.”
― William Butler Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats
