100 years ago, November 14th 1923, William Butler Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, the first Irish citizen to achieve such an accolade. The prize was awarded ‘for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation’.

‘Those days are but a memory like the snow of yesteryear
And evening shades are falling all alone I shed a tear
On my cheek I feel the soft touch of the winds that whisper low
When I mowed Pat Murphy’s meadow in the sunny long ago’
