Sailing to Byzantium

<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!''<>
