Oh to be in Sligo and the magic of Yeats country

Hi there, Thoor Ballylea, is just outside the town of Gort in county Galway, not in co Sligo as indicated on your web site.

What I wouldn't give to be there now!

I highly recommend "Yeat's Ghost's" by Brenda Maddox. A marvellous read. Yes indeed. He inhabited a world of Romantic notions. He also believed in a Ruling Class and the rest of us remain spud-picking peasants in subserviance to The Arts. Much as I love his poetry I don't care for the man he was. A distant father. An even more distant husband. His 'ghosts' were many. Maddox hit's the nail on the head with schollarship and a plaintive harp.

I am a huge fan of Irish literature and mythology, so I found this article very interest. I wish someday I may attend Yeats Summer School. I have put it on my wish list.
