My wife made me watch 'Must Love Dogs' and Christopher Plummer quoted a poem in it and I though it was Yeats. ok, you caught me, I was not paying much attention and do not care to sit through the movie again although the recitation of the poem was real good. I thought the name of the poem was Copper Penney; did I get the poem right or the author or neither? :confused:

I Just watched the movie "Must Love Dogs" and I to was impressed with the reading of "Brown Penny". Even though you may not have enjoyed the movie (which I loved LOL)...The poem touch your heart. I am happy to see that there are still men who are looking for True Love ...and find Poetry very touching...Memphisbelle

The poem recited by Christopher Plummer in "Must Love Dogs" is indeed a Yeats Poem - "Brown Penny"
