Balscadden House in Howth holds a special connection to the renowned poet W. B. Yeats. 🏡📜During the years 1880-1883, this charming abode was home to the literary genius himself. It was within these walls that Yeats penned his thoughts and wove his words into timeless poetry.The poignant lines from his poem, "I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams," add an extra layer of depth to the experience. They remind us of the vulnerability and beauty of artistic expression, urging us to treat the dreams and aspirations of others with utmost respect. 🏡📖🌟
