I wanted to post Yeats' "The Stolen Child" poem but blogger is annoying because it doesn't split the lines, so I shall make do with these 4 lines:
"Come away, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand,For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."See the whole poem
HERE! (plus the part in the movie where the poem appeared)
I think it's super cool that it appeared in the movie A.I. and is kind of linked to David going to underwater Manhattan. I looked up A.I. on google too, and turns out it's a much deeper and more interesting film than I thought it was when I watched it in p5. I want to watch it again!
And of course, here is "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", which is such a sweet poem!
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,Enwrought with golden and silver light,The blue and the dim and the dark clothsOf night and light and the half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams;I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.Argh okay I should start on my Byzantium essay!
