yet it seems Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind, Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams, But the torn petals strew the garden plot And there's but common greenness after that.
William Butler Yeats
Who mocks at music mocks at love.
William Butler Yeats
The mystical life is at the centre of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write.
