Good question! I actually have a silly, pretentious plan for quoting the entire poem in entry titles, or at least most of it, but that's all one at the moment.
My history with the poem actually started with Margaret Weis' Star of the Guardians trilogy, in which its text plays a key part; I read Nick Bantock's excellent G&S trilogy later, and only after that and most recently came to Yeats himself, brilliant weirdo that he was, as part of the runup for my trip to Ireland.
