Цитаты Уильям Батлер Йейтс
„Ответственность начинается во сне (мечтах).“
Вариант: Ответственность начинается в мечтах.
„Образование не заполнение ведра водой, а зажжение огня.“
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
„Не жди, пока железо станет горячим для ковки — но куй, и оно станет горячим.“
Do not wait to strike ’til the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.
„The unavailing outcries and the old bitterness
That empty the heart.“
In The Seven Woods http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1518/
In The Seven Woods (1904)
Контексте: I have heard the pigeons of the Seven Woods
Make their faint thunder, and the garden bees
Hum in the lime-tree flowers; and put away
The unavailing outcries and the old bitterness
That empty the heart. I have forgot awhile
Tara uprooted, and new commonness
Upon the throne and crying about the streets
And hanging its paper flowers from post to post,
Because it is alone of all things happy.
I am contented, for I know that Quiet
Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
Among pigeons and bees, while that Great Archer,
Who but awaits His house to shoot, still hands
A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.
„Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.“
— W.B. Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire
Источник: The Land of Heart's Desire
„For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.“

„But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.“
He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1499/
Вариант: I have spread my dreams under your feet.
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Источник: The Wind Among the Reeds (1899)
Контексте: Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
„O hurry to the ragged wood, for there
I will drive all those lovers out and cry—
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
No one has ever loved but you and I.“
The Ragged Wood http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1673/
In The Seven Woods (1904)
Контексте: p>O hurry where by water among the trees
The delicate-stepping stag and his lady sigh,
When they have but looked upon their images--
Would none had ever loved but you and I!Or have you heard that sliding silver-shoed
Pale silver-proud queen-woman of the sky,
When the sun looked out of his golden hood?--
O that none ever loved but you and I!O hurry to the ragged wood, for there
I will drive all those lovers out and cry—
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
No one has ever loved but you and I.</p
