		<description><![CDATA[There is a sinking away of national feeling which is very simple in its origin. You cannot keep the idea of a nation alive where there are no national institutions to reverence, no national success to admire, without a model of it in the mind of the people. ~W.B. Yeats, Irish poet and dramatist (1865-1939)]]></description>
