Englishmen are babes in philosophy and so prefer faction-fighting to the labour of its unfamiliar thought.
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 YeatsAll empty souls tend to extreme opinion. It is only in those who have built up a rich world of memories and habits of thought that extreme opinions affront the sense of probability. Propositions, for instance, which set all the truth upon one side can only enter rich minds to dislocate and strain, if they can enter at all, and sooner or later the mind expels them by instinct.
