Bob Geldof has presented WB Yeats – A Fanatic Heart on BBC 4. It is too late now to watch on the IPlayer but it will be back.
To anyone who cares about Ireland, to anyone who cares about poetry this is compulsory watching.
A classic line by Geldof
‘Die for a Cause but live for a Reason.’
And then there is Yeats own epitaph
‘Cast a cold eye
On life, on death
Horseman, pass by!’
