Yeats

Famous quotes containing the word yeats:

“Do not because this day I have grown saturnine
Imagine that lost love, inseparable from my thought
Because I have no other youth, can make me pine;
For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought,
The comfort that you made?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

““Your eyes that once were never weary of mine
Are bowed in sorrow under pendulous lids,
Because our love is waning.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“yet it seems
Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind,
Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams,
But the torn petals strew the garden plot;
And there’s but common greenness after that.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
