Yeats

I'm currently reading about Yeats in order to more fully wrap him into a poem that has been evolving for a few years. It's a short piece, but I know that it is leading me to a deeper understanding of the poet (both Yeats and the poet inside myself).

Yeats had a belief in the higher self - the divinity in each of us and I find the more I read about him and his wife, Georgie, the closer I get to a Truth that has been wiggling its way to the surface of my consciousness. Prior to this, Yeats was never a favorite, but I have read his work and stood at his grave and now I am viewing the world from his shoulders by studying A Vision.

Its funny how you read someone and because of the place/time you are in your own life, you may or may not resonate with the work and then years later you pick them up again and are completely blown away by the absolute synergy of a moment meeting knowledge.
