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

Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

Land of Heart's Desire,
Where beauty has no ebb, decay no flood,
But joy is wisdom, time an endless song.

A Deep Sworn Vow

Others because you did not keep
That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine;
Yet always when I look death in the face,
When I clamber to the heights of sleep,
Or when I grow excited with wine,
Suddenly I meet your face.

When I play on my fiddle in Dooney,
Folk dance like a wave of the sea.

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