穿白衬衣的薄荷星Sligo, Ireland, poets Yeats and Sligo City Sligo City is not Yeats' birthplace or most common place, but he called it "homeland", is its "the land of the heart, the beauty of never fade". Sligo gave Yeats a little bit, all reflected in his poems of different periods. The most central place of Sligo is Sligo Abbey. So if you want to park to visit the city, the best location is to stop here and walk around the attractions. The monastery of Sligo was built in 1253 and destroyed by a fire in 1414, and the subsequent wars have also made the ancient monastery go through the vicissitudes. The monastery was restored in the 1850s, but all that remained were broken walls... Sligo was an Irish city, and the street buildings were colourful and completely Irish. The streets after the rain were clean and lonely. Bars and restaurants have to start hustle and bustle until the evening. The river is the most beautiful place in the old town. The early summer rain came quickly and went quickly. The river water was very large and the water was flowing rapidly. The strange-looking building behind the bridge is the glass house hotel The Glasshouse Hotel, if you stay in Sligo, it is recommended to stay here. The red brick building next to the bridge is Yeats Building. WB Yeats: Yeats is considered by many of the greatest poets of the 20th century to be the greatest poet in Ireland. His father, John Butler Yeats (John Butler Yeats), was a famous portrait painter, his sister was a creative craftsman and printer, and his brother Jack Yeats became Ireland's most famous painter. It was a home of artistic heritage. His statue, just east of the Hyde Bridge, was long, broad-breasted, and he watched the hustle and bustle with cold eyes. The building behind him was the building of Ulster Bank, which accompanied the poet morning and evening. The poet's body was covered by his poems. The literary man of the writing, such a shape should be the most accurate interpretation, right? The clear face, the expression of worry about the country and the people, a patriotic poet jumped out of existence. Yeats had a secret love for a noble lady Maud Gunney when she was young, but he never dared to express his love. Later, he mustered the courage to confess to her for 1 year, but he was rejected. Later, Maud Gunney married an Irish officer, but divorced 2 years later. Still, she refused Yeats' first courtship. After that, Yeats wrote "When You Are Old" in a sad tone, telling the pain and misfortune of love's hopeless love. We found a restaurant in Sligo: Eala Bhan, in Gaelic, means "white swan." The hotel is decorated with this wild swan that jumped out of the wall. It is Yeats' poem "The Wild Swans at Coole" I have looked upon those brilliant creatures, And now my heart is sore.All's changed since I, hearing at twilight, The first time on this shore. I stared at these beautiful creatures, and my heart was sour. In the dusk, listening to the goose song, the first time, on the bank of the stream.
