For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame!” William Butler Yeats, from his play The Land of Heart’s Desire
The Land of Heart’s Desire was the first of Yeats’ plays to be professionally performed. In 1894 it had a six-week run at a theater in London. Yeats would go on to work with a core group of passionate literary lovers to establish the Irish National Theatre Society and the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. His poetry is legendery, and he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1923.

Beautiful poem and music. I have always been intrigued by the Fae worlld
Thanks for stopping by, Cathy! The fae world is fascinating.
How very topical the stanza! I bookmarked the page to download the music later from Youtube.
I wish there were a real Fae world. But I think we must create one in our mind and heart. It will help us overcome all kind of sadness and problems. Thanks for this post, Flossie!
I pinned it as usual at Myth and magic board in Pinterest. so I can revisit and read them again.
Carmen, thank you for pinning it to pinterest. I always share your posts on all your buttons too:) The music is by twin brothers, incredibly beautiful. I want to buy some things by them. You’re so right about how much we need the fae world in these most recent frightening days especially of our police officers being murdered and all the horrible mass attacks in the world.
Yes, sad! So many wasted lives for what….?
You heard about the attack in France and the so called coup in Turkey, I assume. Europe is on a gunpowder barrel whose fuse was already lit.
Yes, worldwide turmoil. So sad.
