    “There, on the mountain and the sky,
    On all the tragic scene they stare.
    One asks for mournful melodies;
    Accomplished fingers begin to play.
    Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
    Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    One is left trapped, grumbling not so much at bad luck as

    And that meant something.”
