W.B. Yeats

W.B. Yeats Quotes

❝The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.❞



❝Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.❞


❝…and the moon is wilder every minute.❞



❝I carry the sun in a golden cup.

The moon in a silver bag.❞



❝l Here’s a possible source of inspiration for Hozier’s upcoming song.❞



❝I pace upon the battlements and stare

On the foundations of a house, or where

Tree like a sooty finger, starts from the earth;

And send imagination forth

Under the day’s declining beam, and call

Images and memories

From ruin or from ancient trees …❞





❝What do we know but that we face one another in this place?


❝We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us, that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our quiet.❞



❝A little poem to round off the day.

Stay blessed.❞




❝The cat went here and there

And the moon spun round like a top,

And the nearest kin of the moon,

The creeping cat, looked up.❞







❝Education is not the filling of a pot but the lighting of a fire.❞


❝And a softness came from the starlight and filled me to the bone. ❞


❝We are closed in, and the key is turned On our uncertainty❞






❝Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand❞ The Stolen Child,



❝But I, being poor, have only my dreams...❞



❝Some woman's yellow hair

Has maddened every mother's Son..❞





❝Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.❞

❝Life is a long preparation for something that never happens❞

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
