Additional quotes by William Butler Yeats

Wine enters through the mouth,
Love, the eyes.
I raise the glass to my mouth,
I look at you,
I sigh.

I kiss you and kiss you, With arms around my own, Ah, how shall I miss you, When, dear, you have grown.

I heard the old, old, men say 'all that's beautiful drifts away, like the waters.

Let us go forth, the tellers of tales, and seize whatever prey the heart long for, and have no fear. - William Butler Yeats
