Which stops, as cold and bare
As headless hair,
As lifeless as your bones,
Obtuse as meadow stones ...”

That when he has fallen asleep within my arms,
Being wearied out, I love in man the child?
What can they know of love that do not know
She builds her nest upon a narrow ledge
Above a windy precipice?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
