Poetry Quote by W.B. Yeats — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Come away, O, human child!”

“I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above; those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.”

“And after all, can we come to so great evil if we keep a little fire on our hearths and in our souls, and welcome with open hand whatever of excellent come to warm itself, whether it be man or phantom, and do not say too fiercely, even to the dhouls themselves, ‘Be ye gone’? When all is said and done, how do we not know but that our own unreason may be better than another’s truth? For it has been warmed on our hearths and in our souls, and is ready for the wild bees of truth to hive in it, and make their sweet honey. Come into the world again, wild bees, wild bees!”

“The last stroke of midnight dies.”

“HIS chosen comrades thought at school”

“Is this my dream, or the truth?”

“Morning, noon & bloody night,”

“Poetry, today, is struggling for its space. Poets are writing poems. Readers are not reading poems. Other poets are reading other poets’ poems. They seldom like or appreciate what others write. Poetry, therefore, has turned itself into an unresolving cycle of paradox!”

“What needs my”

“And marbled clouds go scudding by”

“In a world gushing blood day and night, you never stop mopping up pain.”

“Nature is mother that gives happiness to humanity,”
