Moreover Yeats have stated in Long, William J’s book of “English Literature” that, “the purpose was always to write out of the heart of the Irish common people (2013).” Thus Yeats in his “Easter 1916” made an attribution to those brave…

is not the celebration. Ireland originally started with going to a church service in the morning and ending with a large feast. All pubs were to be closed down on this day because drinking was banned until later years. America soon changed the tradition, many years later when they sent a parade through Boston in 1737.
