More quotes by William Butler Yeats
The blessed spirits must be sought within the self which is common to all
William Butler Yeats
The Danaan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold, And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes, For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies, With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold.
William Butler Yeats
People are responsible for their opinions, but Providence is responsible for their morals.
William Butler Yeats
There are a few of the open-air spirits the more domestic of their tribe gather within-doors, plentiful as swallows under southern eaves.
William Butler Yeats
Come, heart, where hill is heaped upon hill: For there the mystical brotherhood Of sun and moon and hollow and wood And river and stream work out their will.
William Butler Yeats
There is only one romance the Soul's.
William Butler Yeats
Nothing that we love overmuch Is ponderable to our touch.
William Butler Yeats
What if the Church and the State Are the mob that howls at the door! Wine shall run thick to the end, Bread taste sour.
William Butler Yeats
Mock mockers after that That would not lift a hand maybe To help good, wise or great To bar that foul storm out, for we Traffic in mockery.
William Butler Yeats
My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd. This Land of Saints, and then as the applause died out, Of plaster Saints his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.
William Butler Yeats
Swift has sailed into his rest Savage indignation there Cannot lacerate his breast Imitate him if you dare, World-besotted traveler he Served human liberty.
William Butler Yeats
The only enemy of innocence and beauty is time.
William Butler Yeats
It takes more courage to dig deep in the dark corners of your own soul and the back alleys of your society than it does for a soldier to fight on the battlefield.
William Butler Yeats
I'm looking for the face I had, before the world was made.
William Butler Yeats
Be secret and exult, Because of all things known That is most difficult.
William Butler Yeats
Why should the imagination of a man Long past his prime remember things that are Emblematical of love and war?
William Butler Yeats
It's certain that fine women eat A crazy salad with their meat.
William Butler Yeats
Endure what life God gives and ask no longer span Cease to remember the delights of youth, travel-wearied aged man Delight becomes death-longing if all longing else be vain.
William Butler Yeats
for never yet Has lover lived, but longed to wive Like them that are no more alive.
William Butler Yeats
All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart, The heavy steps of the plowman, splashing the wintry mold, Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.
William Butler Yeats
