Memory, and The Great Day
What better way to write about memory and revolution! Short gems from Yeats, the first from "The Wild Swans at Coole" and the second from a collection titled "New Poems":Memory
ONE had a lovely face,
And two or three had charm,
But charm and face were in vain
Because the mountain grass
Cannot but keep the form
Where the mountain hare has lain.
-- William Butler Yeats
The Great Day
Hurrah for revolution and more cannon-shot!
A beggar on horseback lashes a beggar on foot.
Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again!
The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.
-- William Butler Yeats
