W B Yeats & Co Sligo
W.B. Yeats love affair with Co. Sligo began back in his childhood. He spent his summer holidays in Sligo listening to his grandmother's stories of ancient Ireland, myths and legends. Absorbing the folklore of the county and meeting with the local people there. He would later refer to Co. Sligo as the Land of Hearts Desire. Yeats always maintained that Sligo was the domain and landscape of his poetic imagination. Yeats was awarded the Noble Prize in literature in November 1923 and was considered to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He was the first Irish person to receive the Noble Prize. William Butler Yeats died in France in 1939 and later buried in Drumcliff churchyard Co. Sligo under bare Benbulben's head. His epitaph reads , Cast a cold eye on life, on death, horseman pass by.

    Visited this island in 2003 by sail boat with my 6 yr old son, Killian and our King Charles spaniel dog, 'Prince'. A memorable experience! Beautiful island with huge historical significance. I notice in this video, made in 2019, that the houses of the most recent islanders have disintegrated significantly since we were there. That's nature taking its course. Long may this beautiful place preserve!

    Years ago when Rodney Lomax was still kicking around some of my family camped on the island while 2 of us kept the wee boat we came in within the little natural harbour. I remember the seagulls screaming what it sounded like the names of my cousins and what I am sure was the word help. I remember the midgets making a good meal out of me and I remember walking around the island picking up any driftwood for a small fire that night saying the only French I could at the time - je suis une saucisson. Good times seeing the history of the place above water and under water too. A wonderful island.
