Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

Everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy kind of delight.

The blessed spirits must be sought within the self which is common to all

Was it for this the wild geese spread
The grey wing upon every tide;
For this that all that blood was shed,
For this Edward Fitzgerald died,
And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone,
All that delirium of the brave?
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.
