When You Are Old

Visualization of “When You Are Old” by William Butler Yeats.

In his youth Yeats was rejected by a beautiful actress, and while still in his 20s he crafted this poem imagining his beloved, old and grey now, reading these words and remembering, with regret, her decision to spurn his love.

    1. You saw this on an email notification you received, but it’s actually posted on my WordPress blog site which you (unfortunately) have to jump through hoops to access from your email. I don’t have many followers – probably because I keep deleting frivolous and/or commercial followers. 🙂
