W. B. Yeats quotes
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.
Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the disheveled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.
Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.
