Horseman pass by

Students spent the second day of our Summer 2011 residency touring Yeats country in the company of  preeminent Yeats scholar Stella Mew. 

There really is something magical about being in the very environs that were so inspiring to Yeats and being able to feel them yourself.

We visited the Toberalt Holy Well, Doonee Rock, Hazelwood,

and, of course, Yeats's grave at Drumcliffe beneath Benbulben's bare head.
