LangtryDavidSQ: Yeats's father, John Butler Yeats "would start out painting a springtime landscape in April but was so critical that summer would find him still working on it, which required changing it to a summer landscape, and eventually it would end up as a snow scene". John Hall Wheelock

mysticinthemoon: Perhaps the most interesting and out of character piece is the death mask of the poet John Hall Wheelock.
John's most famous poem is called "Earth" and is written from the perspective of a Martian watching a planet explode.
AllAboutBison: From the 1905 American Bison Society
“America,” I heard a voice complain,
“The first-born children of your broad domain,
The nurselings of your prairies vast and broad.
Look to them—they were given you of God,
And what He gives He will not give again.”
—John Hall Wheelock.
