"My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger, I walked among their old haunts, the home ground where they bled; And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter Till its oak would sprout in Derry where the thirteen men lay dead." (Seamus Heaney) |
"I refuse to change to suit the people who oppress and dehumanise me…I have the spirit of freedom which cannot be quenched by the most horrendous treatment. Of course, I can be murdered, but I remain what I am - a political prisoner of war" (Mickey Devine) |
