'But I, who am poor, have only my dreams,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.'
W B YEATS
This poem is the essence of A BOY WITH NO BOOTS, a rags to riches story about an extraordinary boy who followed his dreams. Now in its second edition.

"O, curlew, cry no more in the air,
Or only to the waters in the West;
Because your crying brings to my mind
Passion-dimmed eyes and long heavy hair
That was shaken out over my breast:
There is enough evil in the crying of wind." (Yeats)

William Butler Yeats was born #OTD, 13 June 1865. Works by the poet and dramatist can be found across our holdings, but a perennial favourite is this inscribed copy of 'Into the Seven Woods' from the Curran/Laird collection. Happy Birthday, WBY!

'For it is love that I am seeking for,
But of a beautiful unheard of kind,
That is not in the world.'
- W.B. Yeats, The Shadowy Waters
Tristan and Isolde (1912) by Rogelio de Egusquiza
'A Western Town, Evening.' (1922) In 1938 the poet Thomas MacGreevy wrote of Jack Yeats: 'He was first great Irish painter that Ireland has produced, or, indeed, could have produced; the first to fix what is peculiar to the Irish scene and to the Irish people.'
THE SHADOWY WATERS (1904) During his occult phase folklorist & poet W. B. Yeats, wrote of a voyage by a ghost ship of undead sailors near the world's end to an island of women who cast no shadows & manifest as woman-headed birds #WyrdWednesday 🎨Hans Thoma 1839-1924
'Morning after Rain.' (1923) In his paintings of the early 1920s, Jack Yeats surveyed the character and activities of the ordinary people of Western Ireland. Here in Sligo, he depicts a man with a particular expression and deportment, suggesting he was someone Yeats knew.

Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance
–W B Yeats, The Cat and the Moon.
“Come fairies, take me out of this dull world. For I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.”- W.B Yeats, 'The Land Of Heart's Desire'.
