Yeats & Paul Violi

Paul VioliDL

You that would judge me, do not judge alone

This book or that, come to this hallowed place

Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;

Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;

Think where man’s glory most begins and ends,

And say my glory was I had such friends. 

William Butler Yeats >>
