William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. A pillar of the Irish literary establishment, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as a Senator of the Irish Free State for two terms. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn and others. Yeats was born in Sandymount, Ireland and educated there and in London. He spent childhood holidays in County Sligo and studied poetry from an early age when he became fascinated by Irish legends and the occult. These topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the 20th century. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and its slow-paced and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the poets of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. From 1900, his poetry grew more physical and realistic. He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life. In 1923, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Drumcliffe Church & W B Yeats in Co. Sligo, Ireland

Drumcliffe Church & W B Yeats in Co. Sligo, Ireland. By chry_martin (Martin Varghese - Ireland)

Colmcille, also called Columba, founded a monastery at Drumcliffe in 574AD at the foot of Ben Bulben Mountain. As typical with most monasteries, a tall roundtower was constructed, though not until around the 10th century. Roundtowers typically acted as bell towers as well as places of refuge against attacks from both Vikings and local clans. A local legend says, The tower will fall when the wisest man in the world passes under it. The monastery suffered extensive fire damage in 1267, then tower was struck by lightning in 1396.

Drumcliffe, County Sligo is set against the striking backdrop of the Benbulben Mountains. It is best known as the final resting place of W.B. Yeats. The poet W.B.Yeats was buried here in 1948, having died in France in 1939. Yeat's great grandfather, John Yeats, was rector in the early 19th century. The Yeats children had many happy childhood memories of holidays in here in Co. Sligo, Ireland.

아일랜드 남동부, 위클로 산맥에 위치한 유적지, 글렌달로그. 두 개의 호수가 있는 골짜기란 뜻을 지닌 이곳에는 6세기에 지어진 고대 수도원이 있다. 수도원의 입구에서 아름다운 소리가 흘러나왔다. 처음엔 백파이프 연주인 줄 알았다. 그런데 가만히 보니 뭔가 달랐다. 연주자는 마치 페달을 밟듯, 팔을 움직이고 있었다. “아일랜드 일리언 파이프의 일른은 아일랜드어로 팔꿈치를 뜻합니다. 저는 팔꿈치로 공기를 불어넣습니다. 그걸로 백을 채우죠. 이게 아일랜드식 백파이프입니다. 일리언 파이프라고 부릅니다.” 일리언파이프와 백파이프의 차이는 연주방법 뿐만이 아니다. 음색이 더 얇을뿐더러, 한음을 내는 백파이프와는 달리 다양한 화음을 낼 수 있다. 더 아름다운 음악을 연주하기 위해, 악기를 개조했기 때문이다. “아일랜드에서도 스코틀랜드 파이프와 같은 파이프를 연주했어요. 약 1700년경에 이곳 아일랜드에서 좀 더 세련되게 바꾸었죠.” 부드럽고 잔잔한 선율을 따라 흐르는 투명한 목소리. 몽환적이면서도 묘한 슬픔이 느껴졌다.

South East Ireland, located in the historic Wicklow Mountains, Glen Log month. It is a valley with two lakes mean that there is a ancient monastery built in the 6th century. The beautiful sounds flowed from the entrance of the monastery. At first I thought it was yeonjuin bagpipes. But still, something different from Bonnie. A player like baldeut the pedals, was moving his arms. Ilreun of Ireland Leon pipe elbows means the Irish. I infuses the air with your elbow. Fill the bag with it's. This is the Irish bagpipes. Adrian called one pipe. The difference of one Leon pipes and bagpipes playing is not the only way. Nor the voices thinner, it is that the whole tone and bagpipes can be a variety of different chords. To play the music more beautiful, because he converted an instrument. I play the pipe in pipes, such as Ireland and Scotland. Around here in 1700 it switched to be more refined in Ireland. Flowing along the melodious voice soft and calm transparent. I felt a strange sadness, yet dreamy.

The poet W.B. Yeats is buried under Ben Bulben, a magical mountain in County Sligo, Ireland. The grave is in the churchyard of St. Columba's, the parish where Yeats' grandfather was rector. Yeats spent his childhood summers in County Sligo and County Leitrim, surrounded by the mountains he loved. Crows live in the trees of Drumcliff Cemetery, and you can hear them at the end of the video.
