In reading Yeats I've come across a couple of poems referring to Michael Robartes and i get the distinct feeling that I'd understand the poem better if I knew who he is. Anybody know? Thanks.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
There's a poetry book which is named "Michael Robartes and the Dancer" (1921). So maybe those poems are from that book. I don't really know if that man existed.Originally Posted by andave_ya
"De primer van foradar-me les orelles
i de llavors ençà duc arracades.
No prengueu aquest bosc per una alzina."
Maria Mercè Marçal
