“There, on the mountain and the sky,
On all the tragic scene they stare.
One asks for mournful melodies;
Accomplished fingers begin to play.
Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“But strictly between us,
You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.”
—Leo Robin (1900–1984)
