“Music, oh, how faint, how weak,
Language fades before thy spell!
Why should Feeling ever speak,
When thou canst breathe her soul so well?”

“يرتجي الناسُ أن يقـومَ إمــامٌ ناطقٌ في الكتيبة الخرســاء
كذب الظنُّ لا إمام سوى العقل مشيرا في صبحه والمســاء
فإذا ما أطعـتــه جلب الرحمة عند المسير والإرســـاء
إنما هذه المذاهب أسبـــاب لجذب الدنيا إلى الرؤسـاء”

“Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O Never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.”
― In the Seven Woods: Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age
