Read the excerpt from the poem “easter, 1916” by william butler yeats. what is the foot pattern? coming with vivid faces from counter or desk among grey anapest (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable) iamb (an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable) trochee (a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable) dactyl (a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables)

  poem line-by-line.xlines 1-4i have met them at close of daycoming with vivid facesfrom counter or desk among greyeighteenth-century houses.yeats starts the poem off by talking about some people whom he's met at the "close of day" or the end of the business day (probably 5pm-ish). these folks are probably happy to be off work, so they come with "vivid faces" from wherever they work, whether it's behind a "desk" or "counter" at a store among some grey old houses.  as you can imagine, yeats the fancy-pants poet sort of thinks he's above these common people who work regular jobs. if yeats is ever going to sit behind a desk, it's going to be on his own terms as a poet.at this point, we're still not totally sure what yeats' title means for this poem. all we know is that he tends to run into people he knows (or more likely, people who know him) at the end of the business day in dublin. not much to go on so far.
