W. B. Yeats is one of the most common names in literature and has contributed a lot to British and Irish literature. In 1923 he was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. On his birthday let us look at some brilliant quotes this man gave.
William Butler Yeats
· Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye; That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.
· Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.
· Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams, Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round.
· I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood – sex and the dead.
· Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
So wish him a very happy birthday!
