“Politics
How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?
Yet here's a travelled man that knows
What he talks about,
And there's a politician
That has read and thought,
And maybe what they say is true
Of war and war's alarms,
But O that I were young again
And held her in my arms!”
― The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats, Volume 1: The Poems

Of war and war's alarms,

And held her in my arms!”

“The land of easy mathematics where he who works adds up and he who retires subtracts.”
