    “O beautiful white land,
    olives and wild anemone and violet
    mingled among the shale,
    and purple wings
    of little winter-butterflies
    say, here Psyche, the soul, lies.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “All-destroying sword-blade still
    Carried by the wandering fool.
    Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
    Beauty and fool together laid.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
