Choose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill.
More Quotes from William Butler Yeats:
All the wild witches, those most noble ladies, For all their broomsticks and their tears, Their angry tears, are gone.William Butler Yeats
If there's no hatred in a mind Assault and battery of the wind Can never tear the linnet from the leaf.
William Butler Yeats
I see my life go drifting like a river From change to change I have been many things A green drop in the surge, a gleam of light Upon a sword, a fir tree on a hill, An old slave grinding at a heavy quern, A king sitting upon a chair of gold And all these things were wonderful and great But now I have grown nothing, knowing all. Ah Druid, Druid, how great webs of sorrow Lay hidden in that small slate-coloured thing.
William Butler Yeats
See how the sacred old flamingoes come,Painting with shadow all the marble stepsAged and wise, they seek their wonted perchesWithin the temple, devious walking, madeTo wander by their melancholy minds.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
A shudder in the loins engenders there The broken wall, the burning roof and tower And Agamemnon dead.
