the reading in the middle is from the 1st five lines of a poem "no second troy" that is basically yeats bitching about how maud gonne, the girl he spend 20+ years trying to get (they finally did it in 1908, like 15 some odd years into it). he ended up proposing to her about 4 times, each time no. and he also proposed to her daughter. and then he married some other girl. just lol
lol, me neither for the most part. Its really just a tribute to the Irish poet W.B. Yeats, with a few things about his life (and apparently death, too... :P)
Reminds me how some persons and occasions can be perfect.... and can't last forever :(

Pretty, but the words to 'No Second Troy' (the spoken bit of poetry) are incorrect. It should read "WHY should I blame her that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great.
Had they but courage equal to desire?"
