Yeats

Famous quotes containing the word yeats:

    Great works constructed there in nature’s spite
    For scholars and for poets after us,
    Thoughts long knitted into a single thought,
    A dance-like glory that those walls begot.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Only the wasteful virtues earn the sun....”

    He bore her away in his arms,
    The handsomest young man there,
    And his neck and his breast and his arms
    Were drowned in her long dim hair.
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
