back to W. B. Yeats
“On Hearing That The Students Of Our New University Have Joined The Ancient Order Of Hibernians And The Agitation Against Immoral Literature” by W. B. Yeats 🇮🇪 (13 Jun 1865 – 28 Jan 1939)
Where, where but here have Pride and Truth,
That long to give themselves for wage,
To shake their wicked sides at youth
Restraining reckless middle-age.
1910.
From The Green Helmet and Other Poems (1912)
