Yeats at the National Library

"But O that I were young again
And held her in my arms!"
- Politics William Butler Yeats

I went to see the massive Yeats collection at the National Library on Kildare Street in Dublin. It is well worth a look even if it is just to get an idea of just how odd a man he was. Still, I doubt if Ireland would be Ireland today if it was not for him.
