Something familiar holds your attention for longer than usual but not because it changed. Your way of seeing has shifted, allowing more detail, more presence to register. It's been there, waiting without urgency, whether or not it was seen.

Happy Yeats Yeets Crowley Day!
On 4/19/1900, William Butler Yeats & another member barred Aleister Crowley from entering the Blythe Road (London) temple of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, kicking Crowley down the stairs when he persisted (according to Richard Ellman).

William Butler Yeats was born in Sandymount in County Dublin on 13 June 1865. He was an Irish poet, dramatist and writer. One of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature, he was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival. In December 1923, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation".

They returned to Scotland where Gabriela won the admiration of her husband’s society friends – Wilde, Yeats, Engels, & others – with her “slight accent, neither French nor Spanish, but most attractive and charming, as foreign accents sometimes can be, especially with ladies.”

Maud Gonne MacBride (Maud Nic Ghoinn Bean Mhic Giolla Bhríghde) died on 27 April 1953. She was an English-born Irish republican revolutionary, suffragette and actress. Of Anglo-Irish descent, she was won over to Irish nationalism by the plight of evicted people in the Land Wars. She actively agitated for Home Rule and then for the republic declared in 1916. She was long-time love interest of WB Yeats.

@SearingTruth #WBYeats, #TheSecondComing :
The Second Coming
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
- William Butler Yeats, 1919. -

... and it continued with his support for the Republican cause during the Spanish Civil War and his involvement in the Council on African Affairs.
He fell foul of senator Joe McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee and had his passport and concerts cancelled. Before then he visited Ireland at least three times and performed in Dublin, Limerick, and Cork in the 1930s.
