When such as I cast out remorse
So great a sweetness flows into the breast
We must laugh and we must sing,
We are blest by everything,
Everything we look upon is blessed.
Quotes by William Butler Yeats
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of my heart.
One often hears of a horse that shivers with terror, or of a dog that howls at something a mans eyes cannot see, and men who live primitive lives where instinct does the work of reason are fully conscious,of many things we cannot perceive at all. As life becomes more orderly, more deliberate, the supernatural world sinks farther away.
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
...Now that my ladder's gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start,
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.
"Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric;
out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry."
~William Butler Yeats~
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
"But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
Why should he think me cruel
Or that he is betrayed?
I'd have him love the thing that was
Before the world was made.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
