William Butler Yeats Quotes About Morning

Quotes about: Morning

• I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings.

  William Butler Yeats

  Peace, Morning, Wings

  William Butler Yeats

  Morning, Children, Flower

• And I will find some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,/ Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings.

  The Countess Kathleen (1892) "The Lake Isle of Innisfree"

• yet it seems
  Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind,
  Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams,
  But the torn petals strew the garden plot;
  And there's but common greenness after that.

  William Butler Yeats

  Life, Morning, Garden

• While Michael Angelo's Sistine roof,
  His "Morning" and his "Night" disclose
  How sinew that has been pulled tight,
  Or it may be loosened in repose,
  Can rule by supernatural right
  Yet be but sinew.

  William Butler Yeats

  Morning, Night, Body
