Yeats: The Verve Years 1920-1922

W.B. could blow a mean Sax, but didn't think much of his own abilities as is evidenced by the following poem:

All Things can tempt me

All things can tempt me from this craft of verse:
One time it was a Saxaphone, or worse—
The seeming needs of my fool-driven land;
Now nothing but comes readier to the hand
Than this accustomed Sax. When I was young,
I had not given a penny for a song
Did not the poet sing it with such airs
That one believed he had a Sax upstairs;
Yet would be now, could I but have my wish,
Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.

-Joe.
