The origin of "The Yew Tree"

http://www.3pintsgone.com/StValery/YewTree.htm

"This is the time of tension between dying and birth
The place of solitude where three dreams cross
Between blue rocks
But when the voices shaken from the yew-tree drift away
Let the other yew be shaken and reply"
--T.S. Eliot, Ash-Wednesday
