#an irish airman forsees his death is still bad though

[ceo-draiochta]

Fuck Yeats for bad information, fuck Yeats for being weird af to countess markievicz and her daughter, fuck Yeats for being a massive hypocrite about independence but by god that man could write a poem. The Second Coming?? Sailing to Byzantium? The song of wandering Aengus? The Stolen Child?? The Lake Isle of Inishfree?? All masterpieces. Still think about quotes from these all the time.

#an irish airman forsees his death is still bad though #poetry #hate to admit it but he really was so so good #ireland #tae #never did see any of his plays tho so idk how they are #his brother was a very good artist too actually #irish mythology kinda ish
