Players and painted stage took all my love, And not those things that they were emblems of.
William Butler YeatsTo be born woman is to know - although they do not speak of it at school - women must labor to be beautiful.
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
