'The woods of Arcady are dead,
And over is their antique joy.
Of old the world on dreaming fed;
Grey Truth is now her painted toy.'

A Vision by W.B. Yeats is the philosophical heart of all his work during the 1920s and 1930s, lending theme and structure to Michael Robartes and the Dancer, The Tower, and The Winding Stair and Other Poems. #wbyeats #avision #blackletterpress #blackletterpress books

Apr 29, 1916, The #EasterRising in Dublin, Ireland collapsed as Irish nationalists who’d occupied the post office surrendered to British authorities. #WBYeats wrote one of his GREAT poems about the event, #Easter1916 . “All changed, changed utterly. / A terrible beauty is born.”
