morning IM.

sent by my friend alex:

He Wishes For The Cloths of Heaven
by W.B. Yeats

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

i miss those times when i thought i knew poetry.

damn, i should've known a phrase as pretty as that must've come from somewhere poetic.
