If not for WB Yeats, Ireland might have been an island of saints and scientists
- bootload 12y ago“There are two boats going to sea. In which shall we sail? There is the little boat of [s/science/technology]. Every [s/century/decade] a new little boat of [s/science/technology] starts and is shipwrecked; and yet again another puts forth, gaily laughing at its predecessors. Then there is the great galleon of tradition, and on board it travel the great poets and dreamers of the past.” Apologies to Yeats.
