See this page for photos of Yeats' Tower.Another emblem there! That stormy white
But seems a concentration of the sky;
And, like the soul, it sails into the sight
And in the morning's gone, no man knows why;
And is so lovely that it sets to right
What knowledge or its lack had set awry,
So arrogantly pure, a child might think
It can be murdered with a spot of ink.
--from COOLE PARK AND BALLYLEE, 1931(The Winding Stairs and Other Poems (1933)
