Sailing to Byzantium

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books‘Under bare Ben Bulben’s headIn Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.

No marble, no conventional phrase,On limestone quarried near the spotBy his command these words are cut:Cast a cold eyeOn life, on death. Horseman, pass by!’
