An intellectual hate is the worst.
More Quotes from William Butler Yeats:
We . . . are no petty people. We are of the great stocks of Europe. We are the people of Burke we are the people of Swift, the people of Emmet, the people of Parnell. We have created most of the modern literature of this country. We have created the best of its political intelligence.William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
Farewell -- farewell,For I am weary of the weight of time.
