back to W. B. Yeats

“Crazy Jane on the Day of Judgment” by W. B. Yeats 🇮🇪 (13 Jun 1865 – 28 Jan 1939)
“Love is all
Unsatisfied
That cannot take the whole
Body and soul”;
And that is what Jane said.
​
“Take the sour
If you take me
I can scoff and lour
And scold for an hour.”
“That’s certainly the case,” said he.
​
“Naked I lay,
The grass my bed;
Naked and hidden away,
That black day”;
And that is what Jane said.
​
“What can be shown?
What true love be?
All could be known or shown
If Time were but gone.”
“That’s certainly the case,” said he.
