If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity’s displayed:
I’m looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
~W.B. Yeats
……
Nobody running at full speed has either a head or a heart.
W.B. Yeats
…………
True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self.
– William Butler Yeats
