William Butler Yeats Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: June 13, 1865 - January 28, 1939
Birthday: June 13
Death: January 28
Labor is blossoming or dancing where The body is not bruised to pleasure soul, Nor beauty born out of its own despair, Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil. O chestnut tree, great-rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole? O body swayed to music, O brightening glance How can we know the dancer from the dance?
