Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

But Love has pitched his mansion in
The place of excrement;
For nothing can be sole or whole
That has not been rent.

We can only begin to live when we conceive life as
Tragedy.

Down the mountain walls
From where pan’s cavern is
Intolerable music falls.
Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
Belly, shoulder, bum,
Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
Copulate in the foam.

Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes, Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay. - William Butler Yeats
