William Butler Yeats?

Question

What is your favorite poem made by him? Or by any poet for that matter? I'm just curious =?

Answer 1

The Everlasting Voices, is my favorite. I read a lot of his plays and poems and stories and he is great. Read this one and see if you like it.

O SWEET everlasting Voices, be still;

Go to the guards of the heavenly fold

And bid them wander obeying your will,

Flame under flame, till Time be no more;

Have you not heard that our hearts are old,

That you call in birds, in wind on the hill,

In shaken boughs, in tide on the shore?

O sweet everlasting Voices, be still.  

Answer 2

I really like any of them where he analyzes Irish folklore. :)

You should check out Rabindranath Tagore... AMAZING!
