You just answer these easy questions:

1. What uprising is this entry from 1916 about?

But the old and the young were all anxious to fight.
Every man worked hard at his own barricade,
And rifles rang out from the Dublin Brigade.”

2. According to Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise, what is the true aim of government?

3. In Mahmoud Darwish’s poem ‘Those Who Pass Between Fleeting Words,’ what is the “bleeding homeland of a bleeding people” fit for?

I know the answers, but I won’t encourage cheating, so I’ll answer cryptically:

1) Chocolate eggs on a harness

2) The man who shot which valence did you say?

3) The subtitle of the game The Elder Scrolls IV, and, er, well I’ve forgotten the other bit :) -

Finally! I knew if I hung around on this site long enough the Elder Scrolls games would come up eventually.
