“Whether they knew or not,
Goldsmith and Burke, Swift and the Bishop of Cloyne
All hated Whiggery; but what is Whiggery?
A levelling, rancorous, rational sort of mind
That never looked out of the eye of a saint
Or out of drunkard’s eye.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The millions of grains are black, white, tan, and gray,
and mixed with quartz grains, rose and amethyst.”
