Quote from Oliver Goldsmith transcribed by Patrick Boland (Castletown, Ballycumber, Offaly), Tintown No 3 Camp
'The patriots flatter still shall wisdom find
An equal portion dealt to all mankind'
Quote from Pádraig Pearse transcribed by Pádraig Ó Catháin (Carlow), the Long Hut, Tintown Camp:
'We know only one definition of freedom - it is Tone's definition, it is Mitchell's definition, it is Rossa's definition. Let no man blaspheme the cause which the dead generations of Ireland have served by calling it by any other name and definition, than by their name and definition.'
Verse transcribed by Walter A. Mitchell (Rahan, Offaly), Hut 3, Tintown No.2 Camp:
Just a greeting from a comrade
Who lies in chains with you
To show you that a gloomy past
Did not our souls subdue
May all the pleasures which this world
To freeman's life, doth give
Be yours in all your future days
When slaves no more shall live.'
Note transcribed by Pádraig S. MacGioraidh, Hut 5, Tintown (Baile Stáin):
Ná déan dearmad - 'Sí Éire ár dtír agus níl saoirsin againn fós. No one can be base now to barter away that for which our noblest have given up their lives and so though the moment is dark and the world unheeding, confident of the final success, with calm deliberation let us face the the future ready to endure whatever yet may be necessary to win for those who come after us the priceless boon of permanent peace and secure liberty in their native land. 'Ní neart go cur le chéile'.
Quote by Patrick Pearse transcribed by Seosamh Mac Dáibhéid, Tintown No 3 Camp, on the second day of the [hunger] strike ('An dara lá de'n stailc'):
'Life springs from death, and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations.'
Verse transcribed by [D.]. Ledwidge, Camp Quartermaster, Tintown No 3 Camp:
'As the years were before me began
Shall the years be when we are no more
And between them the years of a man
Are as wares the wind drives to the shore.'
Signature of Séamus Ó Riain, tintown No 3 Camp, with the note:
'An séadh lá de'n stailc' (the sixth day of [hunger] strike).
Note by Edward Dunne (Clonaslee, Laois), Tintown No 2 Camp:
'Give real champagne
to your best friends
Give real pain to your sham friends
Just a few from a bashful poet.'
Verse transcribed by Sean Whelan (Enniscorthy, Wexford), Tintown Camp, 'on the second day of the fight for freedom':
'Oh God! to have fought, to have won, to have died
Defending the old flag
By sweet Slaney side.
Quote from Terence MacSwiney transcribed by Joe Harrington, Internee 3544, Tintown Camp No 3:
'No physical victory can compensate for spiritual surrender'
