A Nation Once Again

	[minstrels] The Mother -- Padraic H. Pearse
		The fact that Pearse could create such beauty at a moment which must have been full of fear, loneliness and pain is a tremendous tribute to his character, and to the human spirit.
		Pearse and his fellow rebels experienced quite an amount of contemporaneous abuse for their actions and would have been reviled rather than 'blessed' by many in Ireland at the time.
		Pearse died without marrying and I am reasonably confident that he had no children.

	Reference
		Pearse’s belief was that Gaelic was one of the major elements of an Irishman’s true personality and that a future Gaelic civilization was inevitable (Edwards, 29).
		Pearse eventually created St. Edna’s School, a bilingual institution dedicated to the study of Gaelic within Irish culture, literature, and many other elements of Irish history and society.
		Among his other political achievements were Pearse’s contributions to major magazines and nationalistic newspapers, as well as his creation of a group of nationalist Republicans for the independence of Ireland from British rule.

		Pearse, given his speaking and writing skills, was chosen by the leading IRB man Thomas Clarke to be the spokesman for the Rising that he hoped would soon occur.
		Pearse's reputation and writings were subject to criticism by some historians who saw him as a dangerous, fanatical, psychologically unsound (as per Conor Cruise O'Brien) individual under ultra-religious influences.

	Easter Rising - 1916
		Pearse and Connolly should not be separated for they wre complementary to each other, and on the day on which they signed the Easter Week Proclamation, their aims and objects were identical.
		Pearse's political development was almost complete at this stage, but not quite, it took the 1913 strike to awaken him to a full realization of the fact that the workers struggle for social justice was part of the nation's struggle for independence.
		Padraic Pearse was one of the very few Irish intellectuals of the period who, during the great social upheaval of 1913, came out on the side of the working class.

	Patrick Pearse Summary
		Although Pearse did not realize his dream of a united and Gaelic Ireland, he remains for many of his countrymen the heroic incarnation of the Irish revolutionary ideal; it seems that this was the role in which Pearse desired to be cast.
		Patrick Henry Pearse (known to Irish nationalists as Pádraig Pearse or by his Irish name Pádraic Anraí Mac Piarais; 10 November, 1879 – 3 May, 1916) was a teacher, poet, writer, nationalist and political activist who was one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916.
		In the case of Pearse it was claimed that his heart was broken when this young woman drowned, with him as a result avoiding any romantic attachments.

	Irish Council Against Blood Sports - Latest News
		In her letter, written from a nursing home in 1967, Senator Pearse outlined how her brothers, Padraic and Willie, were kind to animals and would have been opposed to hare coursing.
		Senator Margaret Pearse had felt so strongly about hare coursing in 1967 that she took the time and trouble, then aged 89, to write a letter to the national press, condemning the blood sport.
		In my letter to the press I invoked the names of my two brothers Padraic and Willie and I was absolutely correct in affirming that they would both have been totally opposed to the inhuman treatment meted out to the innocent little hares at the coursing matches.

	Easter Rising - TheWildGeese.com
		Pearse began his life-long study of the Irish language at age 11; perhaps his strident nationalism was a byproduct of his study of the language that the British had tried so hard to destroy over the centuries.
		In military terms, there was nothing for Pearse and his cohorts to do but call off the rising, but Pearse was not a military man, he was a visionary.
		Pearse watched the city he loved blazing around him and the people of that city being killed, some before his eyes.

	1916 Review - Morgan Llywelyn
		The main character of the novel, however, is an invented one; Ned Halloran survived the sinking of the Titanic, was a student at Pearse’s St. Enda’s school, and acted as a messenger before and during the Rebellion.
		Llywelyn creates Padraic Pearse as an idealistic dreamer who is forced to become the forceful leader of a rebellious cause.
		The death of the leaders, especially Padraic Pearse, could not be done better.

	A Life of Pádraic Pearse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Many people in Dublin regret that the birthplace of two of its most famous sons - marked not merely by as blue plaque as elsewhere, but a beautifully carved plaque depicting both of the Pearse brothers - is allowed to go to ruin in such a way.
		Life seems to have been good for the Pearse family, at a time when there was desperate poverty in Ireland, and especially in Dublin.
		There is evidence to suggest that many more than fourteen (plus one man, Thomas Kent, shot in Cork in the same week and Roger Casement, hung in London in August, 1916) might have been executed if it were not for the immediate public outcry and protests in Parliament.

	Poems at the Poetry Free-for-all - Upon Meeting Padraic Pearse, 1916
		I also don't know much about Padraic Pearse, so I don't know how much actual historical information you're relevently evoking here, but I think the story works fine without a real person or even a proper name attached to the stranger who comes begging.
		One problem: these lines are definitely told from an omniscient narrator's perspective, focusing on Pearse as the main (or only) character the thoughts/feelings of whom the narrator has access to.
		I suspect that now that you know who Padraic Pearse is, you'd think the title of the poem itself gives too much away too early.
