    He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven

    Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths, 
    Enwrought with golden and silver light, 
    The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
    Of the night and the light and the half-light,

    I would spread the cloths under your feet:
    But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
    I have spread my dreams under your feet;
    Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

              William Butler Yeats

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
