    But the flash cut him, and he lies in the stubble.”

    To which embarrassed people have recourse.”

    “A strange thing surely that my Heart, when love had come unsought
    Upon the Norman upland or in that poplar shade,
    Should find no burden but itself and yet should be worn out.
    It could not bear that burden and therefore it went mad.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
