#Yeats poem Easter 1916 - endured for capturing something of the hope & desperation of that moment. Those who fought & died for #Irish freedom were people he knew. He mixed the personal with the public & coined enduring line ‘A terrible beauty is born.’ Its truth still resonates.

Wishing Shannen and Kienan every good wish. We loved having them in the #Yeats Building today for their wedding.

Our recent group of student visitors from #Philadelphia struggled to believe the beauty of #Benbulben as we toured #Yeats Country.

⁦Eddie Lee 🇵🇸⁩ in full flow talking about his passion of night sky photos. #Sligo offers many great opportunities for stunning skies as well as stunning landscapes.

We’re all ready here in #Yeats Building #Sligo as part of #IrishAstronomyweek #Astronomy to hear Eddie Lee 🇵🇸 talk about his gorgeous night sky photos

Loved sharing the glories of sunny #Sligo #LoughGill & the story & #poems of #Yeats with students from Stonehill College in #Massachusetts #US

Flowers and an open fire - ready for a #wedding . We wish the couple well! #Yeats #Sligo

I recorded this recitation of the Lake Isle of Innisfree in 2019 to mark #Yeats ’s birthday. It popped up again in my account this morning (How do these things happen?) & I thought I would post it again. #Sligo Yeats Society IRL.
