| Summary: | Card permitting admittance to grave side at the funeral of O'Donovan Rossa in Glasnevin Cemetery; signature written in manuscript hand in black ink on card, with a barely visible stamp mark. At O'Donovan Rossa's funeral in Glasnevin Cemetery on 1 August 1915, Padraic Pearse gave his famous graveside oration, which ended with the lines - "They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but, the fools, the fools, the fools! - They have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace". |
