Yeats

Famous quotes containing the word yeats:

“Violence upon the roads: violence of horses;
Some few have handsome riders, are garlanded
On delicate sensitive ear or tossing mane,
But wearied running round and round in their courses
All break and vanish, and evil gathers head:
Herodias’ daughters have returned again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I am in love
And that is my shame.
What hurts the soul
My soul adores,
No better than beast
Upon all fours.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“I sigh that kiss you,
For I must own
That I shall miss you
When you have grown.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
