Editing Dublin lock-out (section)

==W. B. Yeats' "September 1913"==
[[September 1913 (poem)|''September 1913'']], one of the most famous of [[W. B. Yeats]]' poems, was published in ''[[The Irish Times]]'' during the lock-out. Although the occasion of the poem was the decision of Dublin Corporation not to build a gallery to house the [[Hugh Lane]] collection of paintings (Murphy was one of the most vocal opponents of the plan), it has sometimes been viewed by scholars as a commentary on the lock-out.<ref>Marjorie Howes, "[https://books.google.com/books?id=Qbzycw7rjbMC&pg=PA67 Postcolonial Yeats: Culture, Enlightenment, and the Public Sphere]", ''Field Day Review'', Volume 2 (2008), p. 67 and footnote</ref> In the poem, Yeats wrote mockingly of commerciants who "fumble in a greasy till, and add the halfpence to the pence" and asked:

<poem>
Was it for this [[Flight of the Wild Geese|the wild geese]] spread
The grey wing upon every tide;
For this that all that blood was shed,
For this [[Lord Edward FitzGerald|Edward Fitzgerald]] died,
And [[Robert Emmet]] and [[Wolfe Tone]],
All that delirium of the brave?
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave.</poem>
