One poem by this man asks "sages standing in God's holy fire" to "be the singing-masters of my soul" and notes that an aged man is "a tattered coat upon a stick", unless "soul clap its hands and sing".
One poem by this man asks "sages standing in God's holy fire" to "be the singing-masters of my soul" and notes that an aged man is "a tattered coat upon a stick", unless "soul clap its hands and sing". In another poem, he described being troubled by the "gaze blank and pitiless as the sun" of a "vast image out of Spiritus Mundi", asking "what rough beast...slouches toward (*) Bethlehem to be born?" That poem by this man begins "Turning and turning in the widening gyre, the falcon cannot hear the falconer" and laments "Things fall apart, the center cannot hold". He opened another poem with the line "That is no country for old men." For 10 points, name this co-founder of the Abbey Theater, an Irish poet who wrote "The Second Coming" and "Sailing to Byzantium".
