Beginning in Sligo town, steeped in the history of Nobel poet laureate William Butler Yeats. Michael is hosted by Yeats' scholar Susan O Keeffe, who discusses his connection to the county, his importance in literature and his beautiful poetry in a tour of the Yeats Center. Michael visits his graveside in Drumcliffe, just outside of town, overlooked by the flat-topped mountain Ben Bulben. He hears Aileen Mythen singing "Down By The Sally Gardens" written by Yeats himself.
