I finally decided to pick up some Yeats today. I'd been meaning to try some poetry because I'm not a lovely teenager in school anymore and I realised a lot of my favourite songs I liked because of the lyrics and wasn't too bothered about the music. So I decided to pick a famous one from my home country and I grew up holidaying in Sligo too because my da's family is from there. This is my poetry story.

Thank you for the poems, pals, I will look at them before bed. We did a lot of Heaney, Montague, and Kavanagh in school but I never appreciated it at the time.CestMoi posted:the second coming is a top choice if you want to make extremely shallow literary references to bulk out an article about some person or trend you don't like, otherwise the rest of yeats is just very very good except his earlier stuff which is kind of bad This is the best reason to read poetry imo. I will also learn that Melville passage about the tahiti of the soul and ascend to my seat as the most powerful form of "dumb guy who knows one thing". A second poetry story I remember is in the final weeks of school we were preparing for the irish language literature paper and everyone was trying to predict what poems and poets would come up. Then one of the poets was busted trying to buy a boy for sex in nepal and it got a lot easier to predict what might not be on the paper after that.
