Poem of the Day - Politics
This one is for all the hard-working students out there...
Rest assured you are, and never were, alone in having your mind wander during those long boring classes...
Quote:
Politics by William Butler Yeats
'In our time the destiny of man presents its meanings in political terms.' -Thomas Mann
How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?
Yet here's a travelled man that knows
What he talks about,
And there's a politician
That has both read and thought,
And maybe what they say is true
Of war and war's alarms,
But O that I were young again
And held her in my arms.
