ms_duckworth: The Second Coming
By William Butler Yeats
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The Blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Louise_Salome_: Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths.
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly on my dreams.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
BY William Butler Yeats

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.
