"When You Are Old" by William Butler Yeats (Favorite Poem Project)

[@foxcreteconstruction3382]

I stumbled across this from a list of poems to choose from for an assignment. I am so thankful I found this one as well as your video. This poem is powerful and opened so many emotions. I never thought I could achieve displaced moments of the reality of everyday life unless it was from action sports or hands-on hobbies. Who knew poetry could be so immersive and fulfilling.

Thank you! This video moved me deeply.

Thank you both for this lovely poem. My best friend sent me this poem for my birthday last year. I treasure it, will always treasure it. My dear and beloved friend died early this week. I am overwhelmed with grief. We had planned a picnic in the spring when cherry blossoms bloom in the park. He has truly gone now, to 'hide his face among the stars'.

My peace and blessings to your friend and to you. May he rest peacefully.

Both grandfather and granddaughter seem intrepid, curious and very respectable of their search of meaning of life and so their interest in one of the greatest Irish Poets.
