* Poems in their Place

on BBC Two England

Seamus Heaney presents poems by W. B. YEATS
The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry.
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky....
Coole Park in Co Galway, the home of Lady Gregory, was the starting point of the Irish literary renaissance. Seamus Heaney visits Yeats' tower at Ballylee, and Coole, where he still finds the wild swans that inspired Yeats.
