More quotes by William Butler Yeats
For men were born to pray and save: Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, It's with O'Leary in the grave.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
Farewell - farewell, For I am weary of the weight of time.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
William Butler Yeats
All the great masters have understood that there cannot be great art without the little limited life of the fable, which is always better the simpler it is, and the rich, far-wandering, many-imaged life of the half-seen world beyond it
William Butler Yeats
How can I, that girl standing there, My attention fix On Roman or on Russian Or on Spanish politics?
William Butler Yeats
It's certain that fine women eat A crazy salad with their meat.
William Butler Yeats
A passion-driven exultant man sings out Sentences that he has never thought.
William Butler Yeats
While they danced they came over them the weariness with the world, the melancholy, the pity one for the other, which is the exultation of love.
William Butler Yeats
Longfellow has his popularity, in the main, because he tells his story or his idea so that one needs nothing but his verses to understand it.
William Butler Yeats
Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
William Butler Yeats
Those men that in their writings are most wise Own nothing but their blind, stupefied hearts.
William Butler Yeats
