The Spirit Medium
Poetry, music, I have loved, and yet
Because of those new dead
That come into my soul and escape
Confusion of the bed,
Or those begotten or unbegotten
Perning in a band,
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.
Or those begotten or unbegotten.
For I would not recall
Some that being unbegotten
Are not individual,
But copy some one action
Moulding it of dust or sand,
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with dirty hand.
Some that being unbegotten
Are not individual,
But copy some one action
Moulding it of dust or sand,
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with dirty hand.
An old ghost's thoughts are lightning
To follow is to die;
Poetry and music I have banished,
To follow is to die;
Poetry and music I have banished,
But the stupidity
Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
Makes no demand.
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.
Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
Makes no demand.
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.
– W.B. Yeats (1938)
