“Come fairies, take me out of this dull world. For I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.”
– W.B Yeats, ‘The Land Of Heart’s Desire’.

“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
Painting by Adam Elsheimer, The Flight into Egypt.
