Capital——Dublin都柏林
Something about Ireland
Step 1. Lead in
One of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century.
He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
When you are old
By William Butler Yeats
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
William Butler Yeats

Step 2. Pre-Reading
The colour "green" has long been associated with Ireland.
The island's green countryside inspired the name, "the Emerald Isle", after the green precious stone. It was first called this in a poem written in 1795.
When people around the world celebrate Saint Patrick's Day(圣帕特里克节), the national day, people always wear green, as Irish sports teams do.
