Three Songs To The One Burden

The ten deceased hunger strikers are named, called “H-Block Martyrs”, and their entry into heaven requested: “St. Peter let these men into heaven, for they have served their time in hell” (for info, see I Refuse To Change) alongside a christian cross.

The lower part of the gate is the last stanza of a Yeats poem, Three Songs To The One Burden: “Some had no thought of vi[c]tory but had gone out to die, that Ireland mind be greater, her heart mount up on high; and yet who knows what[‘]s to come[?]”

This is a repainted and greatly changed version of Remember The Hunger Strikers in Westland Street, Derry.

A hand with tricoloured cuff attempts to stop one with a Union flag from taking the six counties from the rest of the island. The plural imperative would be “stadaıgí”.

The image was used (in the 70s? and 80s?) in the United States for fundraising (MOMA | Fb | Etsy).

Beechmount Avenue, west Belfast. See also the same idea in Strabane: England Get Out Of Ireland.
