“Fragments” by W. B. Yeats 🇮🇪 (13 Jun 1865 – 28 Jan 1939)
I.
​
Locke sank into a swoon;
The Garden died;
God took the spinning-jenny
Out of his side.
​
​
II.
​
Where got I that truth?
Out of a medium’s mouth.
Out of nothing it came,
Out of the forest loam,
Out of dark night where lay
The crowns of Nineveh.
