I think there is no end or return.
No answer, no coming out of it.
Which is the only way to love, isn't it?
~ Mary Oliver

youtu.be/NlnlrtsHC6s?...
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...
- William Butler Yeats, When you are old
born on this day, 1865

Happy #YeatsDay! Today we celebrate the birth of #WBYeats, whose poem 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' was inspired by the beauty of Lough Gill. These images from our archive were taken by photographer Robert French between 1865-1914.
