• I long for truth, and yet I cannot stay from that My better self disowns, For a man's attention Brings such satisfaction To the craving in my bones.

    William Butler Yeats: I long for truth, and yet
I cannot stay from that
My better self disowns,
For a man's attention
Brings such satisfaction
To the craving in my bones.
    William Butler Yeats (1962). “Poems of William Butler Yeats”, p.523, Hayes Barton Press
