Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

Happy St Patrick’s Day! Celebrate with this meditation on the words of one of Ireland’s greatest poets, WB Yeats, and his poem ‘When You Are Old’. First love & the power of poetry explored in BAT EYES.

For Valentine’s Day….

‘When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once’ WB Yeats.
