Waking up to William B. Yeats - a very good morning to the world! A morning filled with depth of feelings and essence of love. I love life for what it has hidden in arbitrary fold of my everyday!!
"(He) Dear, I must be gone
While night Shuts the eyes
Of the household spies;
That song announces dawn.
(She) No, night's bird and love's
Bids all true lovers rest,
While his loud song reproves
The murderous stealth of day.
(He) Daylight already flies
From mountain crest to crest
(She) That light is from the moon.
(He) That bird...
(She) Let him sing on,
I offer to love's play
My dark declivities."
"(He) Dear, I must be gone

That song announces dawn.
(She) No, night's bird and love's
Bids all true lovers rest,
While his loud song reproves
The murderous stealth of day.
(He) Daylight already flies
From mountain crest to crest
(She) That light is from the moon.
(He) That bird...
(She) Let him sing on,
I offer to love's play
My dark declivities."
-- "Parting"
William Butler Yeats
