William Butler Yeats Quotes:

Ocupation: Poet

Life: June 13, 1865 - January 28, 1939

Birthday: June 13

Death: January 28

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; 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 Are full of passionate intensity.

- William Butler Yeats
