More quotes by William Butler Yeats
Too many things are occurring for even a big heart to hold.
William Butler Yeats
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds.
William Butler Yeats
All the wild-witches, those most notable ladies For all their broom-sticks and their tears, Their angry tears, are gone.
William Butler Yeats
Education is not filling
William Butler Yeats
It's certain that fine women eat A crazy salad with their meat.
William Butler Yeats
Out-worn heart, in a time out-worn, Come clear of the nets of wrong and right Laugh, heart, again in the grey twilight, Sigh, heart, again in the dew of the morn.
William Butler Yeats
Bodily decrepitude is wisdom young We loved each other and were ignorant.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
Cast a cold eye on life, on death Horseman pass by
William Butler Yeats
By logic and reason we die hourly by imagination we live.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
Myself I must remake.
William Butler Yeats
If I make the lashes dark And the eyes more bright And the lips more scarlet, Or ask if all be right From mirror after mirror, No vanity's displayed: I'm looking for the face I had Before the world was made.
William Butler Yeats
Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.
William Butler Yeats
Only the wasteful virtues earn the sun.
William Butler Yeats
If suffering brings wisdom, I would wish to be less wise.
William Butler Yeats
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.
William Butler Yeats
Now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
William Butler Yeats
Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph.
William Butler Yeats
A lonely impulse of delight
