Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.

Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

Come let us mock at the wise;
With all those calendars whereon
They fixed old aching eyes,
They never saw how seasons run,
And now but gape at the sun.

Cuchulain stirred,
Stared on the horses of the sea, and heard
The cars of battle and his own name cried;
And fought with the invulnerable tide.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.

Minnaloushe creeps through the grass Alone, important and wise, And lifts to the changing moon His changing eyes. - William Butler Yeats
