“When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I bade, because the wick and oil are spent
And frozen are the channels of the blood....”

“Our courage breaks like an old tree in a black wind and dies,
But we have hidden in our hearts the flame out of the eyes
Of Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”

“If this importunate heart trouble your peace
With words lighter than air,
Or hopes that in mere hoping flicker and cease;
Crumple the rose in your hair;
And cover your lips with odorous twilight....”

“Find in middle air
An eagle on the wing,
Recognise the five
That makes the Muses sing.”
