Zettel 1207 – William Butler Yeats
Einmal schrieb ich in London auf einem Dinner, wo nur vertraute Freunde anwesend waren, auf ein Blatt Papier: „In fünf Minuten wird York Powell von einem brennenden Haus sprechen“, schob das Papier unter den Teller meines Nachbarn und stellte mir ein Feuersymbol vor und wartete schweigend. Powell brachte das Gespräch von einem Thema auf das andere, und innerhalb von fünf Minuten beschrieb er einen Brand, den er als junger Mann gesehen hatte.

#MoloMukke Test. Ist schon einige Jahre her, dass ich — mit einigen peinlichen Aussprachefehlern — »The Second Coming« von #WilliamButlerYeats mit Akkordeon und Mehrspur-Gesang vertont. In meinem alten Antville-Blog funktioniert die Datei nicht mehr. Deshalb teile ich das Stück hier mal wieder. Vielleicht hilft es ja bei Weltschmerz und Melancholie. Wenn Musiker:innen oder Bands diese Skizze von mir verbessern wollen, gebt bitte bescheid und traut euch.

"William Butler Yeats," John Singer Sargent, 1907.
Y'all know Sargent, the great society portraitist, by now.
In the early 1900s, Sargent was at the height of his fame, but also starting to slow down a bit. He'd gone hither and yon doing portraits of anybody who was anybody, and had weathered the "Madame X" scandal, and had continued to work at a prolific pace. But soon after this portrait (a commission, to be the frontispiece to a collection of Yeats' poetry), he officially closed his London studio and slowed down significantly....but still painted, almost up until his passing in 1925.
Yeats (1865-1913) was an Irish poet, playwright, and critic who was one of the great figures of 20th century literature. He co-founded Dublin's Abbey Theatre, was the driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, was an Irish Nationalist, and received the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature.
Although he was in his 40s when this was drawn, he looks quite young. Yeats was known to be fussy about his appearance, and to cultivate a Boho image; perhaps Sargent was being flattering. But spare charcoal-on-paper style works wonderfully.
Happy Portrait Monday!
From a private collection.

William Butler Yeats
„Was ist Anmut anderes als Flucht vor dem Mechanismus? Insofern die Welt vom Kampf der Interessen beherrscht wird, ist sie ein Mechanismus. Die Zeitung ist das Rattern der Maschine. Sobald es darum geht, recht zu haben, werden Argumente zum Widerstreit von Interessen. Man sollte, vor allem in Büchern, die nach Unsterblichkeit dürsten, überhaupt keine Argumente vertreten, wenn man nicht bereit ist, den offenbaren Sieg einem anderen zu überlassen. Im täglichen Leben wird man in dem Augenblick ungezogen, wo man dem Clown seinen ständigen Triumph missgönnt.“

Text from ‚Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven‘ by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) Hätte ich die gestickten Tücher des Himmels, die mit goldenem und silbernem Licht durchwirkt sind, die blauen und dunklen Tücher der Nacht und des Lichts und des Halblichts, ich würde die Tücher unter deinen Füßen ausbreiten: Aber ich, der ich arm bin, habe nur meine Träume; ich habe meine Träume unter deinen Füßen ausgebreitet; tritt sanft, denn du trittst auf meine Träume.

'Literarischer Handlungsort'
[...] The little narrow trodden way that runs
From the white road to the Abbey of Corcomroe
Is covered up; and all about the hills
Are like a circle of agate or of jade.
Somewhere among great rocks on the scarce grass
Birds cry, they cry their loneliness.
Even the sunlight can be lonely here,
Even hot noon is lonely. [...]
From: The Dreaming of the Bones
by W. B. Yeats 1919

"I went into the hazel #wood because a fire was in my head," said the Irish poet, adjusting his round-rimmed glasses. "But I ended up wandering through hollow lands and hilly lands."
"Woods, eh? I went walking in a yellow one, myself," said the American poet. "My problem was which path to follow. I chose the less travelled one."
"Did you happen to pluck the silver apples of the moon or the golden apples of the sun?"
"'Fraid not."

Perhaps self-indulgently caught up in desire, Yeats's reflections on our lives as magic and myth, as narrative, as aging and remorse, remain sumptuous thought.

Yeats's collection of works, profound and far-visioned, internal and age-weary, reveals a wisdom that nearly eludes its speakers. Marvelous reverie.

"A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown."

What they undertook to do
They brought to pass;
All things hang like a drop of dew
Upon a blade of grass.
