A famous character. A singing branch
Well,I got some info from my great auntie in England, I am related to the Irish poet William butler Yeats. As being born in 1865 and a member of a very creative family his father was a painter and so was his brother Jack. But most of all a winner of the Noble prize for outstanding writing and one of the 20th centuries greatest writer. As I am speaking on Ascension day, not 40 days but over 40 years since he died in 1939. But his writing still remains. Such as
Cast a cold Eye
On Life, on Death.
Horseman, pass by.
concluding the final verse in Under Ben Bulben ( one of his last poems).
