William Butler Yeats
Nor bird nor beast Could make me wish for anything this day, Being old, but that the old alone might die, And that would be against God's Providence.

William Butler Yeats
In dreams begins responsibility.
William Butler Yeats
Wine enters through the mouth, Love, the eyes. I raise the glass to my mouth, I look at you, I sigh.
William Butler Yeats
May we two stand, When we are dead, beyond the setting suns, A little from other shades apart, With mingling hair, and play upon one lute.
William Butler Yeats
God spreads the heavens above us like great wings, And gives a little round of deeds and days.
William Butler Yeats
I'm looking for the face I had, before the world was made.
William Butler Yeats
