verso à terça
Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.
W.B. Yeats, in The Wild Swans at Coole

The books of my numberless dreams
White woman that passion has worn
As the tide wears the dove-grey sands,
And with heart more old than the horn
That is brimmed from the pale fire of time:
White woman with numberless dreams,
I bring you my passionate rhyme.
W.B. Yeats, "A Poet to His Beloved", in The Wind Among the Reeds
