mythologies quotes

I have made my song a coat Covered with embroideries Out of old mythologies From heel to throat; But the fools caught it, Wore it in the world's eyes As though they'd wrought it. Song, let them take it, For there's more enterprise In walking naked.

-W(illiam) B(utler) Yeats
  'A Coat', complete poem. Collected in Responsibilities (1914).
