On Visiting W.B. Yeats' Grave

W.B. Yeats' grave is located in a Drumcliffe churchyard in County Sligo. I have superimposed his headstone over a picture of nearby Ben Bulben, one of Yeats' favorite places. The last three lines of his poem "Under Ben Bulben" are what appears on his gravestone. The accompanying poem reflects a fictional conversation between the author and W.B. Yeats.
