Famous quotes containing the word yeats:

“At stroke of midnight soul cannot endure
A bodily or mental furniture.
What can she take until her Master give!
Where can she look until He make the show!
What can she know until He bid her know!
How can she live till in her blood He live!”

“But here’s a haughtier text,
The labyrinth of her days
That her own strangeness perplexed....”

So hard I struck.
What matter? for I know
That out of rock,
Out of a desolate source,
Love leaps upon its course.”
