"I know of the leafy paths that the witches take,
Who come with their crowns of pearl and their spindles of wool,
And their secret smile, out of the depths of the lake;
I know where a dim moon drifts,
Where the Danaan kind
Wind and unwind their dances when the light grows cool
On the island lawns, their feet where the pale foam gleams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered
because I have told them my dreams.
I know my sleepy country,
Where swans fly round
Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
A king and a queen are wandering there, and the sound
Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind with wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by;
I know, and the curlew and peewit on Echtge of streams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams."

[The Druid's] chief doctrine is that souls do not perish, but pass after death from one individual to another, and this—the removal of the fear of death—they think the greatest incitement to valour."

The Tao does nothing, but leaves nothing undone.
If powerful men could center themselves in it the whole world would be transformed by itself, in its natural rhythms.
When life is simple, pretenses fall away; our essential natures shine through.
By not wanting, there is calm,
and the world will straighten itself.
When there is silence, one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.
