    From Vacillation, WB Yeats


    My fiftieth year had come and gone,

    I sat, a solitary man,

    In a crowded London shop,

    An open book and empty cup

    On the marble table-top.


    While on the shop and street I gazed

    My body of a sudden blazed;

    And twenty minutes more or less

    It seemed, so great my happiness,

    That I was blessed and could bless.
