Natural Fool

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or fool:

    In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.
    Haniel Long (1888–1956)

    Though now in her old age, in her young age
    She had been beautiful in that old way
    That’s all but gone; for the proud heart is gone,
    And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all
    But soft beauty and indolent desire.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
