from The Island of Statues
I passed by many caves of dripping stone,
And heard each unseen Echo on her throne,
Lone regent of the woods, deep muttering,
And then new murmurs came new uttering
In song, from goblin waters swaying white,
Mocking with patient laughter all the night
Of those vast woods; and then I saw the boat,
And heard each unseen Echo on her throne,
Lone regent of the woods, deep muttering,
And then new murmurs came new uttering
In song, from goblin waters swaying white,
Mocking with patient laughter all the night
Of those vast woods; and then I saw the boat,
Living, wide-wingèd, on the waters float.
Strange draperies did all her sides adorn,
And the waves bowed before it like mown corn,
The wingèd wonder of all Faery Land.
The wingèd wonder of all Faery Land.
– W.B. Yeats (1885)
