Additional quotes by George William Russell

Though the dream of love may tire,
In the ages long agone
There were ruby hearts of fire —
Ah, the daughters of the dawn!

Image of beauty, when I gaze on thee,
Trembling I waken to a mystery,
How through one door we go to life or death
By spirit kindled or the sensual breath.

In ancient shadows and twilights
Where childhood had strayed,
The world’s great sorrows were born
And its heroes were made. In the lost boyhood of Judas
Christ was betrayed.

The hope lives on age after age, Earth with its beauty might be won For labor as a heritage, For this has Ireland lost a son. - George William Russell
