"It is so many years before one..." - Quote by William Butler Yeats

“Overcome the Empyrean; hurlHeaven and Earth out of their places,That in the same calamityBrother and brother, friend and friend,Family and family,City and city may contend.”

“I have drunk ale from the Country of the Young / And weep because I know all things now.”

“I broke my heart in twoSo hard I struck.What matter? for I knowThat out of rock,Out of a desolate source,Love leaps upon its course.”

“Sir, in my heart there was a kind of fighting That would not let me sleep.”

“I had been rejected, but I was still in love.”

“The frankest and freest and privatest product of the human mind and heart is a love letter.”

“More fools know Jack Fool than Jack Fool knows.”

“Must one dread what others dread?”

“How can he remember well his ignorance - which his growth requires - who has so often to use his knowledge?”
