from The Seeker 

Shepherds, I came this morning to your land
From threescore years of dream-led wandering
Where spice-isles nestle on the star-trod seas,
And where the polar winds and waters wrestle
In endless dark, and by the weedy marge
Of Asian rivers, rolling on in light.
But now my wandering shall be done, I know.
A voice came calling me to this your land,
Where lies the long-lost forest of the sprite,
The sullen wood. But many woods I see
Where to themselves innumerable birds
Make moan and cry. 

– W.B. Yeats (1885)

from On the Hours in the Night Garden

                                        III.
The body is only at home on this earth, finally tied
                                   As it is to all matter: the currents of the arteries

Wild as water coursing the river's embankment,
                                   Pulse constant as the globe in its spheric weight,

The planisphere of the body moving among all
                                   Forms – wishing to be held fast in love's gravity;

                                        IV.
The cell's honeycomb fragile as that of wasps',
                                  Which hangs down midday under a branch of

Fresh laurel; Yes, only at home on this earth –
                                  And as such makes as best it can its place in it;

And love, as it does, the things of the flesh.

                                        V.
Love: the heart's arch resistance against the
                                  Arbitrary – bulwark against the siege of time,

Love seeking to build, braid, knit together
                                  Two breaths, preciously hewn twin desires,

To hoard in Love's heat a last few minutes
                                  Saved from the deep, timeless hour of after –

– Ellen Hinsey (The White Fire of Time, Wesleyan University Press, 2002)
