READING WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS' "IMITATED FROM THE JAPANESE"

There is, for the
less exalted person,
a perverse, flickering
joy reading such lines
where those, who have
reached the heights
where clouds give
way to the endless blue,
profess disappoinment
for things not done.

O jealous one, it's
a minor matter, for
them on the eternally
frozen peaks of fame;
for when one has had
all the great and
glorious things, even
minor things ungained
become irritants when
remembered, for gods.
