    No expectation fails there,

    Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
    She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
    She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
    But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am content to live it all again,
    And yet again, if it be life to pitch
    Into the frog-spawn of a blind man’s ditch.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Money is good and a girl might be better,
    No matter what happens and who takes the fall,
    But a good strong cause”Mthe rope gave a jerk there,
    No more sang he, for his throat was too small;
    But he kicked before he died,
    He did it out of pride.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
