Hi, Jaycee! Indeed, TGIF beckons! Yeats is my favorite poet of all time - closely followed by Tennyson, Donne, and a few others. Of course, The Bard is in a separate category.

I had the opportunity to visit Glencar Waterfall when I was in Ireland, over 40 years ago. I took a picture there that is very similar to the on in my post. That verse from "The Stolen Child" is displayed on a plaque there, as are other poems of Yeats in that area of the country.

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!
