Brilliant stuff - I can only recommend to you highly and let the words of W B Yeats do the talking:
An Irish Airman Foresees His Death
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan's poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor publi More...

Yeats has always been my Muse, but every time I re-read his work I am nourished completely.
Let's face it, poetry is gay. But Yeats is a distictly modern poet (if you don't know his work) whose words are drenched in intelligence, passion, and a distictly Irish sense of humour.
The intro in this collection is barely annoying. The bibliography is very handy.
Big faves: (if you're hearty) "The Song of the Wandering Aengus", and "He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven" More...
