HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W. B. Yeats

Great Maire, We have just read a poem in English called 'I married a man from County Roscommon' - In it they mention the 'Abbey Theatre'. So now I know a little more about
it. Thanks.

A nice touch to include the thumbnails,reminiscent of the way theatres show still photos of actors and scenes.
