The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves,
The brilliant moon and all the milky sky,
And all that famous harmony of leaves,
Had blotted out man's image and his cry.

And seemed the greatness of the world in tears,

And all that lamentation of the leaves,
Could but compose man's image and his cry. — W.B.Yeats
