Which lines in this excerpt from w. b. yeats's "easter, 1916" suggest that his response to the easter rising goes beyond personal animosity?
that woman's days were spent
in ignorant good-will,
her nights in argument
until her voice grew shrill.
what voice more sweet than hers
when, young and beautiful,
she rode to harriers?
this man had kept a school
and rode our wingèd horse;
this other his and friend
was coming into his force;
he might have won fame in the end,
so sensitive his nature seemed,
so daring and sweet his thought.
this other man i had dreamed
a drunken, vainglorious lout.
he had done most bitter wrong
to some who are near my heart,
yet i number him in the song;
he, too, has resigned his part
in the casual comedy;
he, too, has been changed in his turn,
transformed utterly:
a terrible beauty is born.

He had done most bitter wrong

To some who are near my heart,

Yet I number him in the song;

Explanation:

The Easter Rising took place in Dublin, Ireland, on Easter Monday in 1916. A group of leaders and revolutionaries occupied government buildings and proclaimed Ireland as a Republic independent from England.

The author of the poem "Easter, 1916", William B. Yeats, in the stanza we are analyzing here, mentions the people he knew who were among the revolutionaries. He mentions even his own enemy, John MacBride, that he describes as a " drunken, vainglorious lout." Throughout his life, Yeats was in love with the woman MacBride married - MacBride was accused of physically abusing her. Yeats has, thus, his reasons to hate this man and yet, as he says in the line, he numbers him in the song. MacBride too fought for independence. He too died for doing so. Yeats acknowledges his bravery for that reason, leaving personal animosity aside.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
