The last stroke of midnight dies.
All day in one chair
From dream to dream and rhyme to rhyme I have ranged
In rambling talk with an image of air:
Vague memories, nothing but memories.
from "Broken Dreams"
by William Butler Yeats

Come, my songs, let us speak of perfection –
We shall get ourselves rather disliked.
from "Salvationists"
by Ezra Pound
