Happy Birthday...

William Butler Yeats ...

"AN IRISH AIRMAN FORESEES HIS DEATH

I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before. "

W.B. Yeats
Irish poet and dramaturge
Born June 13, 1865
remains a "monument of unageing intellect."
