And learn that the best thing is To change my loves while dancing And pay but a kiss for a kiss.

And learn that the best thing is To change my loves while dancing And pay but a kiss for a kiss.

William Butler Yeats

Kissing, Dancing, Pay

William Butler Yeats (2000). “The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats”, p.112, Wordsworth Editions

Labor is blossoming or dancing where The body is not bruised to pleasure soul, Nor beauty born out of its own despair, Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil. O chestnut tree, great-rooted blossomer, Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole? O body swayed to music, O brightening glance How can we know the dancer from the dance?

William Butler Yeats

Wisdom, Oil, Dancing
