That you were beautiful, and that I strove
To love you in the old high way of love;
That it had all seemed happy, and yet wed grown
As weary-hearted as that hollow moon.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“If others surpass you in knowledge, in charm, in strength, in fortune, you have other causes to blame for it; but if you yield to them in stoutness of heart you have only yourself to blame.”
