1569 - Winter Mask

To the memory of W. B. Yeats

(...)

VI

I asked the master Yeats
Whose great style could not tell
Why it is man hates
His own salvation,
Prefers the way to hell,
And finds his last safety
In the self-made curse that bore
Him towards damnation:
The drowned undrowned by the sea
The sea worth living for.

(Allen Tate )
