Famous quotes by butler yeats:

    “I will find out where she has gone,
    And kiss her lips and take her hands;
    And walk among long dappled grass,
    And pluck till time and times are done
    The silver apples of the moon,
    The golden apples of the sun.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Because of that great nobleness of hers
    The fire that stirs about her, when she stirs,
    Burns but more clearly.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We had fed the heart on fantasies,
    The heart’s grown brutal from the fare;
    More substance in our enmities
    Than in our love; O honey-bees,
    Come build in the empty house of the stare.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “There, on the mountain and the sky,
    On all the tragic scene they stare.
    One asks for mournful melodies;
    Accomplished fingers begin to play.
    Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
    Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “What is the good of a man and he
    Alone and alone, with a speckled shin?
    I would that I drank with my love on my knee,
    Between two barrels at the inn.
    Oro, oro!
    To-morrow night I will break down the door.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
