In 1888 the young William Butler Yeats wrote 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree', a yearning incantation of his youth spent in County Sligo near the Atlantic coast in the northwest of Ireland. During two fine summer days in 2010, people from all over Ireland (including members of the Yeatsian Legacy Peace III Programme) gathered at Carrane Hill Bog, Culleenamore Strand at Knocknarea and Parke's Castle on Lough Gill overlooking Innisfree; to inscribe this 'Land of Heart's Desire' with the line and mark of his poetic light. Written by Anonymous
"...for peace comes dropping slow..."
The grace of Yeats' poetry bristles and glows with the Irish landscape in this Irish short film by Lisa Vandegrift Davala.
The fleeting power and beauty of light in motion beckons us to grasp that which we may never achieve. We are enraptured and left satisfied with a fleeting, magic moment of peaceful brilliance, and the equally hollow regret of its loss.
A beautiful portrayal of the preciousness of our earthly resources: the poetry of light, land, sea, and language in all forms; and a celebration of the flow of human life: youth, innocence, freedom, joy, peace, despair, death, renewal.
Beautiful. Brilliant. Bravo!
