Yeats (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• swanq said:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._B._Yeats "William Butler Yeats (/ˈjeɪts/; 13 June 1865 – 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as an Irish Senator for two terms."

• Art Siegel said:

  Yeats arrived in New York, the start of a lecture tour of the U.S. and Canada, on January 24, 1920. In this photo, he holds a volume of William Blake, with a label from the London Library on St. James Square. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9504EED81F38E5... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Library

• Jonathan Morse said:

  For Art Siegel: Yeats's 1893 edition of Blake's poetry is probably more responsible than anything else for Blake's status as a major figure in English literature. That's why the ending of W. H. Auden's poem "In Memory of W. B. Yeats" (1939) is written in the rhythm of Blake's "The Tiger." For anyone who may be interested: a photoshopped version of this image is viewable at theartpart.jonathanmorse.net/william-butler-yeats-contemp...

  Is that lady the mother or the sister? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Pearse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mary_Pearse

• Niall McAuley said:

  The school opened in 1909. Here are Margaret and Mary Brigid Pearse in Rathfarnham village in 1911. Margarets occupation is given as Matron of College. Patrick and Willie were as gaeilge

• Frank Fullard said:

  This is terrific!

• guliolopez said:

  beachcomber australia I'd say it's Margaret Pearse (the younger), who was in her 50s in 1930. Rather than Margaret Mary Pearse (her mother), who would have been in her 70s.
