Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number;
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you --
Ye are many; they are few.

In Time of the Breaking of Nations
I
Only a man harrowing clods
In a slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and nods
Half asleep as they stalk.
II
Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch-grass;
Yet this will go onward the same
Though Dynasties pass.
III
Yonder a maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
War’s annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die.

مراسم اخیر خاکسپاری جانباختگان در اعتراضات دیماه با چرخش از مناسک سنتی شیعه به سمت آیینهایی چون رقص، نواهای سنتی، شاهنامهخوانی و تشویقهای دستهجمعی روایتگر شکلگیری شیوه متفاوتی از سوگواری است که در آن شعارهای حماسی جایگزین مداحیهای مرسوم شده است.

The Peterloo Massacre
On 16 August 1819, at St Peter's Field, on the outskirts of Manchester, a political meeting of 60,000 working men and women was disperesed by mounted dragoons, with a brutality that left eleven people dead and 421 cases of serious injury.
The news reached #Percy_Shelley within about a week, and he began meditating the following poetic response to the event.

Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know,
But leechlike to their fainting country cling
Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow.
A people starved and stabbed in th' untilled field;
An army, whom liberticide and prey
Makes as a two-edged sword to all who wield;
Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;
Religion Christless, Godless—a book sealed;
A senate, Time’s worst statute, unrepealed—
Are graves from which a glorious Phantom may
Burst, to illumine our tempestuous day.
حاکمانی که نه میبینند، نه حس میکنند، نه میفهمند،
بل چو زالو به کشور بیجان خود چسبیدهاند
تا آنگه که بیفتند، فربه از خون، بیهیچ تکانی،
مردمانی گرسنه و زخمخورده، در آن دشت شخمنزده؛
ارتشی که آزادی را میکشد و (مردمان) را میدرد
همچو شمشیری دو دم به دست هرکه برگیرد؛
ُ قوانینی طلایی و سرخ که دل می بَرد و سر میبُرد؛
. . .
اینها همه گورهایی است که امید میرود از میان آنها
روحی پرشکوه برخیزد، و این روزگار شوریده را به سامان آورد.

Eight O'Clock
Supper comes at five o'clock,
At six, the evening star,
My lover comes at eight o'clock—
But eight o'clock is far.
How could I bear my pain all day
Unless I watched to see
The clock-hands laboring to bring
Eight o'clock to me.
Sara Teasdale
