William Butler Yeats - Crazy Jane Talks With The Bishop
Work rating: Low

I met the Bishop on the road
And much said he and I.
`Those breasts are flat and fallen now,
Those veins must soon be dry;
Live in a heavenly mansion,
Not in some foul sty.`

`Fair and foul are near of kin,
And fair needs foul,` I cried.
`My friends are gone, but that`s a truth
Nor grave nor bed denied,
Learned in bodily lowliness
And in the heart`s pride.

`A woman can be proud and stiff
When on love intent;
But Love has pitched his mansion in
The place of excrement;
For nothing can be sole or whole
That has not been rent.`
