Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

Like a long-legged fly upon the stream
His mind moves upon silence.

The Light of lights looks always on the motive, not the deed
The Shadow of Shadows looks on the deed alone.

All shuffle there; all cough in ink;
All wear the carpet with their shoes;
All think what other people think;
All know the man their neighbour knows.
Lord, what would they say
Did their Catullus walk that way?

Nor dread nor hope attend A dying animal; A man awaits his end Dreading and hoping all. - William Butler Yeats
