Weren't two poems filmed, Luigi? Yeats' poetry is rhythmic and lyrical. As a student he initially attended art school to become a painter... possibly following in his father's footsteps! His father was a lawyer and portrait painter. The National Library of Ireland has a website with an award-winning exhibition of the life/work of William Butler Yeats (1865-1939). http://www.nli.ie/yeats/exhibition/default.asp It includes an interesting timeline and a master class video on Sailing to Byzantium, tracing Yeats' painstaking revisions to his original manuscripts. Yeats made recordings of his own poetry between 1932 and 1937, interspersed with entertaining commentary. Yeats was insistent about reciting poetry within its rhythm, and with his voice he demonstrated precision and a musical flow...Yeats definitely had the makings of a Jazzman, maybe a drummer or pianist. Yeats' recording of "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" can currently be found on Youtube and other poetry sites. A great reading! Weren’t two poems filmed, Luigi?
