“Could he not find in his heart the generosity to acknowledge that there is a small nation that stood alone not for one year or two, but for several hundred years against aggression; that endured spoliations, famines, massacres in endless succession; that was clubbed many times into insensibility, but that each time on returning [to] consciousness took up the fight anew; a small nation that could never be got to accept defeat and has never surrendered her soul?” YearsHeartTwoSoulFightingNationsConsciousnessAcceptingHundredDefeatEndlessGenerosityAcknowledgeAggressionSuccessionFamineMassacresNever SurrenderIreland And The IrishInsensibilitySmall Nations Author:Eamon de Valera
