W.B. Yeats, The Collected Poems Of W.B. Yeats Quotes
Come away, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
When you are old and grey and full of sleep And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep
How far away the stars seem, and how farIs our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!
Heart-mysteries there, and yet when all is saidIt was the dream itself enchanted me("The Circus Animal's Desertion")
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance?
