…und ab dem 1.1.2010 auch die Werke von William Butler Yeats, einem der bedeutendsten Poeten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Deswegen hier eines seiner Gedichte.

Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Wer sonst noch gemeinfrei geworden ist (unter anderem nämlich Freud) hier.
