I used to really like Yeats...I still do, but Oscar Wilde recently replaced him as my favourite Irish poet.
And speaking of British Kings, I wouldn't mind a modern take on Charles I. I really like "Restoration" about Charles II, but his father needs a new bio-pic, too. The A&E miniseries "The Power and the Passion" (also about Charles II) was beautifully filmed, but the only problem was with the main character! I thought the gentleman who played Charles (Rufus someone-or-other) was too prettyboy-ish for the part, perhaps a little too young.
