On Hearing That The Students Of Our New University Have Joined The Agitation Against Immoral Literat
William Butler Yeats 1865 (Sandymount) – 1939 (Menton)
Where, where but here have pride and Truth,
That long to give themselves for wage,
To shake their wicked sides at youth
Restraining reckless middle-age?
