Famous quotes containing the word yeats:

    Sang a bone upon the shore;
    “A child found all a child can lack,
    Whether of pleasure or of rest,
    Upon the abundance of my breast”:
    A bone wave-whitened and dried in the wind.

    All things fall and are built again,
    And those that build them again are gay.

    O what a bursting out there was,
    And what a blossoming,
    When we had all the summer-time
    And she had all the spring!
