Know your Aubreys

The quote from Yeats given in the article and below. Refers, I think, to Mr Aubrey Thomas de Vere, the son of the subject of this article. Aubrey Thomas was also a poet.

"In A Book of Irish Verse, W. B. Yeats described de Vere's poetry as having "less architecture than the poetry of Ferguson and Allingham, and more meditation. Indeed, his few but ever memorable successes are enchanted islands in gray seas of stately impersonal reverie and description, which drift by and leave no definite recollection. One needs, perhaps, to perfectly enjoy him, a Dominican habit, a cloister, and a breviary."[7]

Indeed I'm sure it is. He pointedly calls him "Mr" not "Sir" and gives his birth date on the contents page as 1814. Indeed the same quote is given on the article page for Mr Aubrey Thomas De Vere.

Indeed I'm so sure I'm just going to delete the quote. Lft_Nemo 88.144.101.209 ( talk) 21:57, 9 July 2019 (UTC) reply
