One often hears of a horse that shivers with terror, or of a dog that howls at something a mans eyes cannot see, and men who live primitive lives where instinct does the work of reason are fully conscious,of many things we cannot perceive at all.

William Butler Yeats
Where there is nothing, there is God.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
All empty souls tend toward extreme opinions.
