Kaleidoscope

I learnt about W.B. Yeats when I was collecting information about Tagore. I was impressed by Yeats' love for poetry, no matter who the creator of a good poem was. I learnt that he found Tagore's works in a London train, ardently and passionately searched for Tagore and a step above, nominated that piece of work for Nobel prize.

Today I thought of reading some of Yeats' own poetry. The one that I came across in poetseers.org was "An Irish man foresees his death"

 
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;

Then why this man is fighting? What for? Yeats pictures this beautifully. The entire poem can be read at

Thanks to Yeats for his poem and for who he was , poetseers.org for the online version of the poem and to  Wikipedia for the image.
