Crazy Jane Talks with the Bishop
\nBY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS<\/p>\n
I met the Bishop on the road
\nAnd much said he and I.
\n`Those breasts are flat and fallen now
\nThose veins must soon be dry;
\nLive in a heavenly mansion,
\nNot in some foul sty.’<\/p>\n
`Fair and foul are near of kin,
\nAnd fair needs foul,’ I cried.
\n‘My friends are gone, but that’s a truth
\nNor grave nor bed denied,
\nLearned in bodily lowliness
\nAnd in the heart’s pride.<\/p>\n
`A woman can be proud and stiff
\nWhen on love intent;
\nBut Love has pitched his mansion in
\nThe place of excrement;
\nFor nothing can be sole or whole
\nThat has not been rent.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
