The Tower Quotes

“Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.”
― W.B. Yeats, The Tower

“But is there any comfort to be found?
Man is in love and loves what vanishes,
What more is there to say?”
― William Butler Yeats, The Tower

“He who can read the signs nor sink unmanned Into the half-deceit of some intoxicant From shallow wits; who knows no work can stand, Whether health, wealth or peace of mind were spent On master work of intellect or hand, No honour leave its mighty monument, Has but one comfort left: all triumph would But break upon his ghostly solitude.”
― W.B. Yeats, The Tower
