It is the only poem of mine which is widely known. "1 He may have sounded a little petulant, but he wasn't wrong. Consider, for example, the opening quatrain of Yeats's 1892 poem "The Sorrow of Love," as it now appears in editions of the collected poems: The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves, The brilliant moon and all the milky sky, And all that famous harmony of leaves, Had blotted out man's image and his cry.
