William Butler Yeats

Where nobody gets old and godly and grave
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue
And she is still there, busied with dance
Deep in the dewy shadow of a wood
Or where stars walk upon a mountainside

From The Land of Heart's Desire

I'm not familiar with his works, yet coincidentally have a book of letters he wrote to those he loved. I love letters as they carry a meaning personal, and I was familiar with him as being a poet, I felt this was a good place to start understanding his humanity.

So thank you for the short share in words.
