And what if excess of love/Bewildered them till they died?

Today is Easter, if you're not Orthodox. (Ok! I get it! I'm wrong!  *smile*  Happens.) And although Easter was celebrated on April 23rd in 1916, I still think W.B. Yeats' requiem for that day is the most appropriate thing I can post.

This is one of my favorite poems - of Yeats', and in general - and I could probably recite it from memory if called

Actually, it's Easter for everyone this year!

This year is one of those years where both Eastern and Western Christians celebrate Easter. It'll happen again in 2010 & 2011.

Thanks for the links in the poem. I had no idea as to whom he was refering to in the poem. I thought it was just general references.

Learned a lot there.

Yeah, I'm a geek. Glad to be a useful geek, though. ;c)
