Yearly Yeats

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 3/17/17, 9:21 pm

Oh, I almost forgot, I do this on St. Patrick’s Day sometimes. Here’s his translation of Swift’s Epitaph:

Swift has sailed into his rest;
Savage indignation there
Cannot lacerate his Breast.
Imitate him if you dare,
World-Besotted Traveler; he
Served human liberty.

    You don’t expect Trumpanzees to comprehend poetry, do you? To them, art in all its forms is a liberal plot to undermine their hillbilly culture.
