The grave of William Butler Yeats lies next to the church of Drumcliff, at the foot of Benbulben. The simplicity of the gravestone contrasts with his status as a Nobel laureate: a sober limestone slab with his famous last line “Cast a cold Eye / On Life, on Death. / Horseman, pass by.” The place forms a silent, symbolic stop in the landscape that shaped so much of his poetry. The proximity of the old monastery site, the High Cross, and the remains of the round tower give the whole a layered historical atmosphere.
