“I did the dragon’s will until you came
Because I had fancied love a casual
Improvisation, or a settled game
That followed if I let the kerchief fall:
Those deeds were best that gave the minute wings
And heavenly music if they gave it wit.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I give you a wise and discerning mind; no one like you has been before you and no one like you shall arise after you.”
