Below appears a small extract from the poem: What shall I do with this absurdity –O heart, O troubled heart – this caricature,Decrepit age that has been tied to meAs to a dog's tail?Never had I moreExcited, passionate, fantasticalImagination, nor an ear and eyeThat more expected the impossible –No, not in boyhood when with rod and fly,Or the humbler worm, I climbed Ben Bulben's backAnd had the livelong summer day to spend.It seems that I must bid the Muse go pack,Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friendUntil imagination, ear and eye,Can be content with argument and dealIn abstract things; or be derided byA sort of battered kettle at the heel.William Butler Yeats * v * t * e (en)
