He thinks of Those who have spoken Evil of his Beloved

Half close your eyelids, loosen your hair,

And dream about the great and their pride;

They have spoken against you everywhere,
But weigh this song with the great and their pride;

I made it out of a mouthful of air,
Their children's children shall say they have lied.

– W.B. Yeats (1899)
