Answer 1

Cast a cold eye On life, on death. Horseman, pass by! That is the epitaph that Poet William Butler Yeats wrote for himself, and, according to his careful directions ("No marble, no conventional phrase"), it is engraved on his simple tomb in the churchyard of Drumcliff, in the poet's native Sligo.
