William Butler Yeats
In 1874 his family move to london
THE CLOAK, THE BOAT, AND THE SHOES 'WHAT do you make so fair and bright?' 'I make the cloak of Sorrow: O lovely to see in all men's sight Shall be the cloak of Sorrow, In all men's sight.' 'What do you build with sails for flight?' 'I build a boat for Sorrow: O swift on the seas all day and night Saileth the rover Sorrow, All day and night.' What do you weave with wool so white?' 'I weave the shoes of Sorrow: Soundless shall be the footfall light In all men's ears of Sorrow, Sudden and light.'
His father and grandfather were founders of the 'Church of Ireland'
Later on his father became a skeptic of religion and disbanded from them
Yeats spent many years studying before his talent was really noticed
His father became an art dude person...
He was born in Dublin Ireland
