One time it was a woman's face, or worse-
The seeming needs of my fool-driven land;
Now nothing but comes readier to the hand
Than this accustomed toil.
--"From All Things Can Tempt Me" W.B. Yeats, a Nobel Prize winner, laid the foundations for an Irish literary revival, drawing inspiration from folklore, the occult, and Celtic philosophy. A writer of poems and plays, he helped found Dublin's Abbey Theatre. The poems here showcase his life's work and artistry, beginning with "The Stolen Child" from his debut collection "Crossways" and including "Why Should Not Old Men Be Mad?" from "On the Boiler."
