When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

No one cares. Some of his best poetry is him attacking Mcbride. No one cares that you know that commonly known detail.

You fags don't even know the best Yeats anecdote.

Macbride (not Mcbride) and Maud Gonne's child died in infancy, and they divorced. However, because they both had an interest in the occult, they met up beside the grave of their dead child by the light of a full moon and conceived a new one, hoping the dead child's spirit would inhabit its body.

>>7656075
no no no, disregarding all that. you're doing it on top of the literal memory of one of the most depressing aspects of your life.

just doesn't do it for me, I dunno. Then again maybe Ms. Gonne was unbelievably hot.

All that practise keeping a stiff upper lip paid off.

Clover 2 stopped there. Not even an ellipsis.
