'Literarischer Handlungsort'
[...] The little narrow trodden way that runs
From the white road to the Abbey of Corcomroe
Is covered up; and all about the hills
Are like a circle of agate or of jade.
Somewhere among great rocks on the scarce grass
Birds cry, they cry their loneliness.
Even the sunlight can be lonely here,
Even hot noon is lonely. [...]
From: The Dreaming of the Bones
by W. B. Yeats 1919
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

"I went into the hazel #wood because a fire was in my head," said the Irish poet, adjusting his round-rimmed glasses. "But I ended up wandering through hollow lands and hilly lands."
"Woods, eh? I went walking in a yellow one, myself," said the American poet. "My problem was which path to follow. I chose the less travelled one."
"Did you happen to pluck the silver apples of the moon or the golden apples of the sun?"

Yeats's collection of works, profound and far-visioned, internal and age-weary, reveals a wisdom that nearly eludes its speakers. Marvelous reverie.
Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.

"Now when I read Yeats, even in the big poems when his big voice is working well, I find myself a little suspicious. I find myself wondering what is concealed behind the megaphone.”

3 Quarks Daily · In Which a Student Tells Her Teacher How to Read Yeats and Be a Better Father - 3 Quarks Dailyby Nils Peterson Years ago I was listening to Robert Bly talk about poetry. It was at a conference on form and he was in the process of leaving Whitman and going on to Yeats as part of his own conscious public wrestling, not so much with the Muse as which Muse and where the…

"One day when I was twenty-three or twenty-four this sentence seemed to form in my head, without my willing it, much as sentences form when we are half-asleep:
'Hammer your thoughts into unity.' "

"A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown."

I’m on a Yeats kick at the moment and found this quote in one of his books.
“Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art, and she has built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle.”
