It is so many years before one can believe enough in what one feels even to know what the feeling is
William Butler YeatsO but we dreamed to mend Whatever mischief seemed To afflict mankind, but now That winds of winter blow Learn that we were crack-pated when we dreamed.
William Butler YeatsI will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping...I hear it in the deep heart's core.
William Butler YeatsHad I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
William Butler Yeats
