The Three Monuments
Read 'The Three Monuments' by 'William Butler Yeats' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
They hold their public meetings where
Our most renowned patriots stand,
One among the birds of the air,
A stumpier on either hand;
And all the popular statesmen say
That purity built up the State
And after kept it from decay;
And let all base ambition be,
For intellect would make us proud
And pride bring in impurity:
The three old rascals laugh aloud.
