| On Being Asked for a War Poem | |
| William Butler Yeats (1928) | |
| I think it better that in times like these A poet’s mouth be silent, for in truth We have no gift to set a statesman right; He has had enough of meddling who can please A young girl in the indolence of her youth, Or an old man upon a winter’s night. |

Please be civil to each other even if you disagree with a passion. Thank you. No personal attack will be allowed.
