Framed Print of The Cat and the Moon by W B Yeats. This poem written in 1917 was used as opening lines for the chorus in Yeats' 1926 haunting play of the same name.

Our contemporary visual take is a stunning image from NASA of the world as a marbled eye observing a stunningly desolate moon fixed in the heavens to "trouble our animal blood".

Available unframed mounted Giclee print in celo bag ideal for posting or framed under glass with elegant white wood frame.

About the Artist

William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was one of Ireland’s greatest poets and a defining voice of Irish cultural life. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats drew deeply on Irish myth, symbolism and landscape to create work that continues to resonate around the world.

Although born in Dublin, Yeats regarded County Sligo as his spiritual home. He spent much of his childhood there, and its natural beauty and rich folklore profoundly shaped his imagination. Places such as Lough Gill, Innisfree and Benbulben appear again and again in his poetry, and Sligo remains inseparable from his legacy. Yeats is buried nearby in Drumcliffe, beneath Benbulben, where his epitaph draws visitors from across the globe.

The Cat & The Moon takes its name directly from Yeats’s poem and play The Cat and the Moon, reflecting the enduring influence of his words and imagery. Our name is a tribute to Yeats and to Sligo’s unique creative spirit — a place where poetry, craft and imagination continue to meet.
