Yeats

Famous quotes containing the word yeats:

    My chair was nearest to the fire
    In every company
    That talked of love or politics,
    Ere Time transfigured me.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Thought is a garment and the soul’s a bride
    That cannot in that trash and tinsel hide:
    Hatred of God may bring the soul to God.

    And Guidobaldo, when he made
    That grammar school of courtesies
    Where wit and beauty learned their trade
    Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
    Had sent no runners to and fro
    That he might learn the shepherds’ will.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
