“The innocent and the beautiful
Have no enemy but time;
Arise and bid me strike a match
And strike another till time catch;

(In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markievicz)”
― W.B. Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

“Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice?”
― Yeats W B, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

“But in the grave all, all, shall be renewed.
The certainty that I shall see that lady
Leaning or standing or walking
In the first loveliness of womanhood,
And with the fervour of my youthful eyes,
Has set me muttering like a fool.


(Broken Dreams)”
― W.B. Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

“Burdensome beauty - for your sole sake
Heaven has put away the stroke of her doom,
So great her portion in that peace you make
By merely walking in a room.

(Broken Dreams”
― W.B. Yeats, The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats
