William Butler Yeats: Idézetek angolul

“The intellect of man is forced to choose
Perfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.”

W.B. Yeats könyv The Winding Stair and Other Poems

The Choice http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1602/, st. 1
The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933)

“I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:”

The Lake Isle of Innisfree http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1641/, st. 1
The Rose (1893)
Kontextus: 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 honeybee,
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;

“Now days are dragon-ridden, the nightmare
Rides upon sleep: a drunken soldiery
Can leave the mother, murdered at her door,
To crawl in her own blood, and go scot-free.”

And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity.”

That fancied goodness might be gay,

And now but gape at the sun.”

To mighty Paris when he found
Sleep upon a golden bed
That first dawn in Helen’s arms?”

And God the herdsman goads them on behind,
And I am broken by their passing feet.”

To help good, wise or great
To bar that foul storm out, for we

Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.”

Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

“Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.”

So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?”
