Inspired by one of the tales in W.B. Yeats' Irish Fairy Tales & Folklore.
Poor guy had to run around all night looking for a proper grave for a corpse clinging to his back.

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

📚 We’ve catalogued a copy of the 1st US edition of The Image and Other Plays by Lady Gregory. Copy is inscribed by #LadyGregory to New York lawyer & arts patron John Quinn, a supporter of figures like #JMSynge, #WBYeats & #JamesJoyce. It also bears Quinn’s striking bookplate designed by #JackYeats.
I spotted these amazing yew 'flowers' at #Hazelwood, Sligo last week: really just a conglomeration of anthers. These are male; I meant to go back to snap some females for #Wildflowerhour but you'll just have to use your imaginations 😆 @bsbibotany.bsky.social @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social #WBYeats

🎵 "But I will rise
And I will return,
The Phoenix from the flame.
I have learned,
I will rise,
And you'll see me return.
Being what I am,
There is no other Troy
For me to burn."🎶

“Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;”

”Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.”
