We who care deeply about the arts find ourselves the priesthood of an almost forgotten faith, and we must, I think, if we would win the people again, take upon ourselves the method and fervour of a priesthood.We must be humble and half-proud. . . . We must baptize as well as preach.' W B Yeats: 'Ireland and the Arts', 1901.
