WB Yeats is indeed a great. The bit that most sticks in my mind from that piece is the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity. Kind of like Edmund Burke's "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ

that is what sticks out most from it in my mind as well

"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star." ~ Nietzsche

I must admit that I like Yeats a fair bit. Enough to want to name a dog after him.

Well after I use Byron, Dante and Shelley.

Yeats first came to my attention for the piece quoted in Equilibrium.

"HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

I remember seeing that poem in English Litterature class last year.
Yeats is good, but I like T.S.Eliot more. ^^

I tried to snort Coke, but the ice cubes got stuck in my nose.

Thanks for the insight. That rather matches this past week in our corner of the county.
