Quote of the Week-11-30-09-WB Yeats

William Butler Yeats- He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
•
HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths, 
Enwrought with the golden and silver light, 
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths 
Of night and light and half-light, 
I would spread the cloths under your feet 
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; 
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; 
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...

Yeats - Pronounced to rhyme with `Gates´ not `beats

Cloths - plural of `cloth´ - same vowel as `enwrought´ - not shortened `clothing´

there should be a slow pulse in the rhythm - then the magic emerges
