"The creations of a great writer are little more than the moods and passions of his own heart, given ..." — William Butler Yeats

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.

Choose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill.

Cast your mind on other days that we in coming days may be still the indomitable Irishry.
