William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet who was born in 1865 and died in 1939. While learning art as a child, he turned into a poet and wrote plays while running a theater. He was also interested in politics and participated in the Irish independence movement. In 1923, he became the first Irish writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. His poetry changed from feminine in the beginning to masculine and metallic in the later.
This poem, which I transcribed this time, is thought to be a reverse story of the poet's own life.
The coming of wisdom with time
By William Butler Yeats
Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
The pen I used for this poem's transcription is Tombow's Playcolor 2.
It was kind of hard to find a picture that goes well with this poem.
