The following excerpt is taken from W.B. Yeats's poem "Easter, 1916," in which he examines his feelings toward those who took part in the Easter Rising in Ireland. Which lines suggest that Yeats considered the rebels inflexible?
'Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart
O, when may it suffice?
That is Heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.
What is it but nightfall?
No, no, not night but death;
Was it needless death after all?
For England may keep faith
For all that is done and said.
We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead;
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them until they died?
I write it out in a Verse--
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly
A terrible beauty is born."

[ Too long a sacrifice

O when may it suffice?


That is Heaven's part, our part


To murmur name upon name,


As a mother names her child


When sleep at last has come


On limbs that had run wild.


What is it but nightfall?


No, no, not night but death;


Was it needless death after all?


For England may keep faith


For all that is done and said.  

We know their dream; enough


To know they dreamed and are dead;


And what if excess of love


Bewildered them till they died?


I write it out in a verse—


MacDonagh and MacBride


And Connolly and Pearse


Now and in time to be,


Wherever green is worn,


Are changed, changed utterly  

A terrible beauty is born.
