Yeats



Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends.
-- William Butler Yeats

Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.
-- William Butler Yeats

One day a woman that I know came face to face with heroic beauty, that highest beauty which Blake says changes least from youth to age, a beauty which has been fading out of the arts, since that decadence we call progress set voluptuous beauty in its place.
-- William Butler Yeats: "And Fair, Fierce Women" from The Celtic Twilight

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
...the best lose all conviction.
-- William Butler Yeats?
