Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

I will make rigid my roots and branches. It is not now my turn to burst into leaves and flowers.

...I'm looking for the face I had, before the world was made...

Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.
