William Butler Yeats Quotes About Flight

Quotes about: Flight

• Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim gray sands with light, Far off by furthest Rosses We foot it all the night, Weaving olden dances, Mingling hands and mingling glances Till the moon has taken flight; To and fro we leap And chase the frothy bubbles, While the world is full of troubles And is anxious in its sleep. . . .

  That if we hold that flight they'll leave the place,
  While those same hundreds mock another day
  Because we have made our art of common things.
