William Butler Yeats(Irish poet, dramatist and prose writer, one of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century)

I like some of his poems like "Leda and the swan",

" Never give all the heart"...

What for the words, I  agree with them 100%, as it's necessary to  lead the pupils, to make them burn from desire for knowledge. Otherwise  the process of teaching can remid only filling a  pail without bottom...

Thanks for sharing!
