Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

Cast a cold eye
on life, on death
Horseman pass by

All hatred driven hence,
The soul recovers radical innocence
And learns at last that it is self-delighting,
Self-appeasing, self-affrighting,
And that its own sweet will is Heaven’s will;
She can, though every face should scowl
And every windy quarter howl
Or every bellows burst, be happy still.

This melancholy London — I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually.
