William Butler Yeats Dance Quotations

Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!

How can we know the dancer from the dance?

Who can tell the dancer from the dance?

You think it horrible that lust and rageShould dance attendance upon my old age;They were not such a plague when I was young;What else have I to spur me into song?

Come swish around, my pretty punk,And keep me dancing stillThat I may stay a sober manAlthough I drink my fill.

When I play on my fiddle in Dooney Folk dance like a wave on the sea.

And the merry love the fiddle, and the merry love to dance.

When two close kindred meet What better than call a dance?.
