@johnlooker.bsky.socialI came across this riveting description of WB Yeats reading his poetry to a small group (in London around 1905 as remembered by Stefan Zweig).
Note the altar candles and stagey setting, the deep melodious voice.
Compare and contrast with poetry readings today!

@nancyfjorde.bsky.socialMy mother had this poem hanging framed in her kitchen all the years of my childhood. She gifted it me and now hangs in mine. 💗✨ #Yeats
@vegypower.bsky.socialO chestnut tree, great rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?
