In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.

Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)

“There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
