I am off, at the request of one of my professors, to assist him at an up coming conference. It's very exciting. I'm very excited! I hope to hear some great lectures on one of my favourite subjects - Irish Literature.
As I know Yeats will be discussed at some length with great passion and committment, I will leave you with one of my favourite Yeats poems.

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939). The Wind Among the Reeds. 1899.
