    ““... Can poet’s thought
    That springs from body and in body falls
    Like this pure jet, now lost amid blue sky,
    Now bathing lily leaf and fish’s scale,
    Be mimicry?””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To some good angel leave the rest;
    For Time will teach thee soon the truth,
    There are no birds in last year’s nest!”
