#otd 1889, 23-yr-old Dublin-born #BedfordPk poet #Yeats, lectures at Southwark Irish Literary Society on one of his heroes, Dublin-born poet James Clarence Mangan (1803-1849) who first brought the "ghazal" to poetry in English with his translations of Hafiz

The garden had fallen still;
He bade his soul rise upward...
But the young queen would not listen
