就跟标题一样，在看之前，我对叶芝、对爱尔兰、对影片知之甚少，只是凭借着对一个诗人的好奇打开了视频。叶芝是否可以算成是爱尔兰的鲁迅，或者郭沫若，我不知道......
1、叶芝和茅德冈：you know perfectly well that if some body is completely mad about you and telling you, that's the least attractive thing possible that can be done, the way to have someone in love with you is clearly not to be in love with them.看起来，如果没有茅德冈，也成就不了叶芝，诗人艺术家画家灵感源泉来源于此。
2、神秘学：其实就是国内的迷信，有点理解不来为什么一个一方面为了革命文诛笔伐的人，一方面又对笔仙、占卜术那么痴迷。
3、很多大咖朗诵叶芝的诗歌，有一种说不出的感觉。
When you are old 当你老了
--- William Butler Yeats ——威廉·巴特勒·叶芝
When you are old and grey and full of sleep, 当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，
And nodding by the fire，take down this book, 倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，
And slowly read,and dream of the soft look 慢慢读着，追梦当年的眼神
Your eyes had once,and of their shadows deep; 你那柔美的神采与深幽的晕影。
How many loved your moments of glad grace, 多少人爱过你昙花一现的身影，
And loved your beauty with love false or true, 爱过你的美貌，以虚伪或真情，
But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you 惟独一人曾爱你那朝圣者的心，
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; 爱你哀戚的脸上岁月的留痕。
And bending down beside the glowing bars, 在炉罩边低眉弯腰，
Murmur,a little sadly,how Love fled 忧戚沉思，喃喃而语，
And paced upon the mountains overhead 爱情是怎样逝去，又怎样步上群山，
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. 怎样在繁星之间藏住了脸。
