Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the disheveled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

William Butler Yeats,  The Land of Heart's Desire

In tombs of gold & lapis lazuli
Bodies of holy men & women exude
Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
But under heavy loads of trampled clay
Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
—WB Yeats, Oil & Blood.

William Butler Yeats,

A drinking song

Vine 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
I lift the glass to my mouth
I look at you, and I sigh

Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance
