Sailing to Byzantium
By W B Yeats
90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
'Under bare Ben Bulben's head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut-
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!'
