William Butler Yeats Quotes

Where, where but here have Pride and Truth,
That long to give themselves for wage,
To shake their wicked sides at youth
Restraining reckless middle age?

A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains
All that man is;
All mere complexities,
The fury and the mire of human veins. - William Butler Yeats

I bear a burden that might well try
Men that do all by rule,
And what can I
That am a wandering-witted fool
But pray to God that He ease
My great responsibilities? - William Butler Yeats
