After swimming on Hampstead Heath yesterday, I watched the swans

An elderly Irish woman stopped, and we chatted, swans are sacred in Celtic tradition to St Brigid: she said "Yeats wrote right about them" But now they drift on the still water,    Mysterious, beautiful;    Among what rushes will they build, By what lake's edge or pool Delight men's eyes when I awake some day    To find they have flown away? Source:  The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/172060 The heath and the ponds are under threat, please read and if you suppirt, sign the petition https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-heavy-construction-on-hampstead-heath
