Thread Name: William Butler Yeats - poetry and biography
Subject: RE: Help: Yeats
Help - I remember reading on here some time ago, a thread about folk music (now there's a surprise!), which was discussing its place as an intellectual study (I think). Included in the thread was a quote, whic I made a note of by Yeats (?) -

'Folk art is indeed the oldest of the aristocracies of thought....etc'

I really could do with finding this thread again and, hopefully, the source for this quote.

Can anybody help me please, who has a better memory than I do.

Thanks
