I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping...I hear it in the deep heart's core.

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.

It is most important that we should keep in this country a certain leisured class. I am of the opinion of the ancient Jewish book which says there is no wisdom without leisure.

It's certain there are trout somewhere - And maybe I shall take a trout - but I do not seem to care.

There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.

The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I too have woven my garment like another, but I shall try to keep warm in it, and shall be well content if it do not unbecome me.
