by W. B. Yeats

Better than my own hands.

Forgael.I have deceived you

Out of all reckoning.

Dectora.Is it not true

That you were born a thousand years ago,

In islands where the children of Aengus wind

In happy dances under a windy moon,

And that you’ll bring me there?

Forgael.I have deceived you;

I have deceived you utterly.
