“Too long a sacrifice, can make a stone of the heart.” So wrote William Butler Yeats in his "Poem, “Easter 1916,” about the irish rebellion against the British that year in Dublin.
And he followed that line with this question; “Oh, when will it suffice?”
So too he might have written of the grief, rancor, resentment, other disorders and confusion of “hearts and minds” that have run on in our nation since the ending of the Vietnam War.
Yeats left the final settlement to a tribunal other than a human one and set the measure of human response in two lines of the poem.
“That’s heaven’s part, our part
To murmur name upon name
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last come
On limbs that had run wild.
Tfte monument to the dead of the Vietnamese War is a material representation of Yeats's words, as was the reading of the names of all the dead in the National Cathedral ceremony.
