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

“Come away, O human child!”

“Nor dread nor hope attend”

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

“Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art, and she has built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle. O beloved daughter of Hope and Memory, be with me for a while.”

“How many loved your moments of glad grace,”

““Wine enters through the mouth,”

“Hands are no longer hands. They are caresses. Mouths are no longer mouths. They are kisses. My name is no longer a name, it is a call. And love is no longer love — love is you.”

“Where are you hiding my love?”

“With slouch and swing around the ring”

“dance”

“What is a poet? An unhappy man who hides deep anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so formed that when the sigh and cry pass through them, it sounds like lovely music.”

“From a little spark may burst a flame.”
