yeats
mademoiselle But, dear, cling close to me; since you were gone,
My barren thoughts have chilled me to the bone.

mon uow in 2001 i dedicated a part of my website (gone now) to yeats,...
i typed out one na my copies of his 'complete poetry',...a bit each day until it was done.


yes. it was dumb of me, and exhausting. but was a good way to reread him and was good typing practice.

and i decorated the pages all fancy with faeries and pictures of yeats, maud gonne and lady gregory. and it was pretty. but i deleted it all.


i read some of him when i was quite a bit younger, but didn't get really into reading him until i was about 17 or so,...i took him to the beach a lot then,...so my main copy is a bit beach-weathered.

i should visit with him again.

mademoiselle would love to have seen the site.

I know I heard 'He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven' as a child, but did not find him properly until a few years back.

there are so many snatches of his poetry I half-knew, and have come to love in their entirety.

ah, Yeats.
a terrible beauty is born.
