William Butler Yeats
Yeats -The old men Admiring Themselves In The Water
I heard the old, old men say, ‘Everything alters,
And one by one we drop away.’
They had hands like claws, and their knees
Were twisted like the old thorn-trees by the waters.
I heard the old, old men say, ‘All that’s beautiful drifts
away Like the waters.’
Yeats – A Man Young And Old: 111 . The Mermaid
Amermaid found a swimming lad, Picked him for her own, Pressed her body to his body, Laughed; and plunging down Forgot in cruel happiness That even lovers drown
