    “What were our praise to them? They eat
    Quiet’s wild heart, like daily meat;
    Who when night thickens are afloat
    On dappled skins in a glass boat,
    Far out under a windless sky;
    While over them birds of Aengus fly....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “When the swan must fix his eye
    Upon a fading gleam,
    Float out upon a long
    Last reach of glittering stream
    And there sing his last song.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
