Poetry Quote by William Butler Yeats — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“THOUGH you are in your shining days,”

“To long a sacrifice can make a stone of a heart”

“How many loved your moments of glad grace,”

“I said: 'A line will take us hours maybe;”

“People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.”

“Nor dread nor hope attend”

“But no, I was out for stars:”

“I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against”

“My heart is small, like a love of buttons or black pepper.”

“I hunger for your sleek laugh and your hands the color of a furious harvest. I want to eat the sunbeams flaring in your beauty.”

“dance”

“Conceptions are artificial. Perceptions are essential.”
