Cloths of Heaven

I heard this today and fell in love with this man. Sadly, he is 72 years dead; but luckily he has left a legacy behind him :)

"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."

~William Butler Yeats
