“I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“At last now you can be
What the old cannot recall
And the young long for in dreams,
Yet still include them all.”
—Elizabeth Jennings (b. 1926)
