William Butler YeatsChoose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill.
William Butler YeatsI Sing what was lost and dread what was won, / I walk in a battle fought over again.
William Butler YeatsBeloved, gaze in thine own heart, The holy tree is growing there; From joy the holy branches start, And all the trembling flowers they bear. The changing colours of its fruit Have dowered the stars with metry light; The surety of its hidden root Has planted quiet in the night; The shaking of its leafy head Has given the waves their melody, And made my lips and music wed, Murmuring a wizard song for thee.
