It has been busy and a bit hectic since I returned from Ocracoke with Philip. I have, however, still had a little time to study for my class. We are currently (still) on Yeats.

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for the Yale class. I listened several times to the reading -- after a long day at working curious if I would be moved to tears. Alas lack I was not. I read other readers interpretations on line and well I was puzzled by the line about the bars. did the subject stir the glowing embers-- to rekindle the flame--was this the burning love metaphor which is so hackneyed ?? gain popularity with Yeats??
Dear Reader, I am moved too tears by art and music so don't feel bad if tears didn't flow for you.
I think(my own interpretation, not my professor) that it is about growing old, embers dying, but still much to do. Hmmm...who knows?
