#Yeats endures. Even 76 years after his death, his words are quoted frequently in the articles I read and sometimes unknowingly

An extraordinary poetic talent

William Butler Yeats died 76 years ago #OnThisDay at the Hôtel Idéal-Séjour, Cap-Martin, in the south of France.

Here's a reading from co-host @mnutty of one of #Yeats' greatest poems: Sailing to Byzantium

"We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet."
— W.B. Yeats

"Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?"

Today in Labor History January 4, 1909: James Larkin founded the ITGWU (Irish Transport and General Workers Union) on this date in Dublin. Many of the original members of the ITGWU came from the socialist movement or from the IWW. Their logo was the Red Hand of Ulster. They were at the center of the syndicalist-led Dublin Lockout in 1913, in which 2 people died and hundreds were injured (mostly police). “September 1913,” one of the most famous of W. B. Yeats' poems, was published during the lock-out. After Larkin left for the U.S. in 1914, James Connolly led the ITGWU until his execution in 1916 for his leadership role in the Easter Rising. Connolly was a founding member of the IWW in the U.S. in 1905.

TO A CHILD DANCING UPON THE SHORE

Dance there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That cold salt drops have wet;
So young you have not known
Triumphant fools, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won.
Though bold Cú Chulainn dead
And all the sheaves to bind,
What need have you to dread
The monstrous troll of time?

W.B. #Yeats (1903) zu William #Blake

Es hat Menschen gegeben, die liebten die Zukunft wie eine Geliebte, und die Zukunft verschmolz ihren Atem mit dem ihren, ließ ihr Haar über sie herunterfallen und verbarg sie damit vor dem öffentlichen Verständnis zu Lebenszeiten. William Blake war einer dieser Menschen, ....

This afternoon I finished writing an entry on W. B. Yeats's The Tower for The Literary Encyclopedia. I may have accidentally invented the term material sublime to capture Thoor Ballylee's 'monumental' presence in the poetry.
