Famous quotes by butler yeats:

    For what but eye and ear silence the mind
    With the minute particulars of mankind?
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    for never yet
    Has lover lived, but longed to wive
    Like them that are no more alive.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Miracle had its playtime where
    In damask clothed and on a seat
    Chryselephantine, cedar-boarded,
    His majestic Mother sat
    Stitching at a purple hoarded
    That He might be nobly breeched....
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    All know that all the dead in the world about that place are stuck
    And that should mother seek her son she’d have but little luck
    Because the fires of Purgatory have ate their shapes away;
    I swear to God I questioned them and all they had to say
    Was fol de rol de rolly O.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The hourly kindness, the day’s common speech,
    The habitual content of each with each
    When neither soul nor body has been crossed.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
