W B Yeats poetry What they undertook to do, they brought to pass. From tangentials by kiwiconnexion This little poem is one of the gems of English literature. Published in 1933, with the title Gratitude to the Unknown Instructors, Yeats is referencing his teachers: their learnings, their way of being. Not only those who literally taught him, but the unseen cloud of witnesses, who influenced, and shaped, and created the backdrop of all endeavour. What they undertook to do They brought to pass; All things hang like a drop of dew Upon a blade of grass. The intaglio etchings also illustrate two other poems in tangentials. Emily Dickinson, There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away https://youtu.be/tMlFzF9ThYA A E Housman, It is no gift I tender, a loan is all I can https://youtu.be/8-l8mf75xSA Watch more from kiwiconnexion and AIM publishing: original art, printmaking, etching, intaglio and relief, and artist books.
