Скачать или смотреть No Second Troy by William Butler Yeats read by A Poetry Channel

Happy Birthday to the sublime Yeats. I am reading his anti-romantic poem to Max Richter's track, Andras, and several gifs I cobbled together. If you enjoy my readings and would like to support the channel, you can buy me a cup of coffee : https://buymeacoffee.com/lorigomez_ap...

No Second Troy
By William Butler Yeats

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?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?
