immense




After long silence 

Speech after long silence ; it is right,
All other lovers being estranged or dead,
Unfriendly lamplight hid under its shade,
The curtains drawn upon unfriendly night,
That we descant and yet again descant
Upon the supreme theme of Art and Song :
Bodily decrepitude is wisdom ; young 
We loved each others and were ignorant.

                                                             - William Butler Yeats
