My favorite Yeats poem. Not as political as say Easter 1916 nor the fantasy as The Stolen Child but it makes me think of my grandmother whose grandparents were from Galway and who raised horses in her later years.

Van Morrison says one of his poetic influences is Yeats. I think that comes out in his songwriting, too. He may have been born in Belfast and raised there, but he has a home near Dublin. He’ll always be one of my favorites.
