“The Arrow"
I THOUGHT of your beauty, and this arrow,
Made out of a wild thought, is in my marrow.
There's no man may look upon her, no man,
As when newly grown to be a woman,
Tall and noble but with face and bosom
Delicate in colour as apple blossom.
This beauty's kinder, yet for a reason
I could weep that the old is out of season.”
― In the Seven Woods: Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age

“Het grootste probleem van vrouwen is dat ze geneigd zijn iets van mannen te verwachten. Het grootste probleem van mannen is dat ze beseffen dat van hen iets wordt verwacht. Dat besef maakt hen bang.”
