"I will arise now and
go to Innisfree" so wrote W.B Yeats
in his famous poem. (Innisfree comes from
the irish
inis fraoigh meaning "heather island".) Innisfree is a
small island in a lake in Co. Sligo in the heart
of what
is now known as Yeats country. The young Yeats
spent
most of his childhood in the area, and has
immortalised it forever in his
magical poetry.
