Famous quotes by butler yeats:

    “We have cried in our despair
    That men desert,
    For some trivial affair
    Or noisy, insolent sport,
    Beauty that we have won
    From bitterest hours....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And she’d had lucky eyes and a high heart,
    And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax,
    At need, and made her beautiful and fierce,
    Sudden and laughing.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I made my song a coat
    Covered with embroideries
    Out of old mythologies”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Although the summer sunlight gild
    Cloudy leafage of the sky,
    Or wintry moonlight sink the field
    In storm-scattered intricacy,
    I cannot look thereon,
    Responsibility so weighs me down.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Do you not hear me calling, white deer with no horns?
    I have been changed to a hound with one red ear;
    I have been in the Path of Stones and the Wood of Thorns....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
