William Butler Yeats Quotes:

Ocupation: Poet

Life: June 13, 1865 - January 28, 1939

Birthday: June 13

Death: January 28

The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I too have woven my garment like another, but I shall try to keep warm in it, and shall be well content if it do not unbecome me.

- William Butler Yeats
