I cannot, but I am not content."

The poets labouring all their days
To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
Are overthrown by a woman's gaze...."

I've translated 'The Tower' to Persian(Farsi) . Yeats was a charismatic figure in the world of literature, so unique. He doesn't repeat once more.So fascinating. He was creative to the last moment of his life, to his death. No poet is like that. The essence he absorbed from the soil & the land of Ireland. Ireland comes so fascinating to me, as I write plays & Beckett on one side had an influence on me to find absurdity as an Iranian poet & daramatist. But Yeats was a mystic & eastern literature is dominated by mysticism. So I think Yeats belongs to a world I know it very well.
To read some of the poems in (Persian) (Farsi) go to:
