Before her wandering feet.”

When painted panel, statuary,
Glass-mosaic, window-glass,
Amended what was told awry
By some peasant gospeller....”

A lout begets a lout,
So when I take on half a score
I knock their heads about.”

“Say that the men of the old black tower
Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,
Their money spent, their wine gone sour,
Lack nothing that a soldier needs,
That all are oath-bound men;
Those banners come not in.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.”
