Great windows open to the south,
Two girls in silk kimonos, both
Beautiful, one a gazelle.

Have no enemy but time.

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds.

A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-be,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
William Butler Yeats

There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
William Butler Yeats
The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore…
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
William Butler Yeats
The Lake Isle of Innisfree

The land of faery,
Where nobody gets old and godly and grave,
Where nobody gets old and crafty and wise,
Where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.
William Butler Yeats

Like a long-legged fly upon the stream
His mind moves upon silence.
William Butler Yeats
Long-Legged Fly
