“I am haunted by numberless islands, many a Danaan shore, where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow comes near us no more; soon, far from the rose and the lily and the feet of the flames would we be, were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea.”
William Butler Yeats
Irish poet 1865-1939
