W.B. Yeats - Byzantium

[jamesandchante]

Hello, do you have any facts about William Butler Yeast? What religion was he in? Please, let me know, thank you.

[MsJCBurke]

My husband is born and raised Irish and he says "top-o-the mornin' to ye" every day, begorrah, sure he does.

[StAlfonzo420]

rubbish



[imacooldude506]

eww. terrible reading. but yeah great poem.

[happyenjoytime]

Great poem. Catastrophic opening spoilt it.

[Seamus616]

ah lads inappropiate music. if ya wanted to use irish music, ya could have got something more eerie more suitable

[eireisthebest]

who the fuck says top of the mornin to ye?

fuckin idiots

[anaruxandra]

awsome guys!!!!!!!! keep it up!!!!!

[432player]

By Suzanne Ciani Sailing to Byzantinum is the greatest piano ever!!

[StAlfonzo420]

despite the shortcomings at the beginning, the poem was very well read

[boyleb1]

why must you destroy th poem wuth that awful midi soundtrack

[Nakajima820]

Im Irish and i have never heard an irishmen say "top of the morning to ya"!He sounds like such a idiot when he sas that.

[everseradio]

I believe that's the point. "it is possible that you don't know that all this top-of-the-morning and broth-of-a-boy and more-power-to-your-elbow business is as peculiar to England as the Albert Hall concerts of Irish music? No Irishman ever talks like that in Ireland, or ever did, or ever will." George Bernard Shaw

[TheBookmonk]

@everseradio

G.B. Shaw was wrong. I grew up in Ireland and we regularly said "more power to you elbow".

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

This stage phrases are no more Irish than Disney kids are kids or Micky Mouse will be found in a hole in your wall. Goofy artifice.

[Nakajima820]

Exactly. I don't have a wall?;-]

[davidoffon]

@Nakajima820 That is because he is one. My most successful joke ever, was greeted by stunned silence from my one man, English spiv audience.

Who is the Crapmeshaun shitting be snide him.

There is no training, you wake up and the war is declared , by all who can speke aon fhocal at all. I wrote a diatribic poem for the "topped in the morning" creature, he might get his wish. It is to good to go here, they'd cancel Yoights and get a live bunny on.

[davidoffon]

@Nakajima820 He is that odiot, because he is living his life in truth, while we suffer the pain.

[wonderfulkeithfloyd]

Why do you have that stupid music playing in the background when you read the poem? Distracting and an irritance.

[Ladycroft144]

love it

[Ascentia]

Lovely reading, thank you!

Nice collection on the shelves in the bg too.

[bafr1]

very very nice

[everseradio]

We all wonder that moty. Thanks for taking the time to point this out to us. Sounds like you been through a lot.

[toReasonWhy]

What don't I know? Who's Mr. F?

[moty78]

Christ almighty, haven't we been through enough without the frequent allusions to the bewildering fame of Mr. F?
