HOW can I, that girl standing there, <br />My attention fix <br />On Roman or on Russian <br />Or on Spanish politics? <br />Yet here's a travelled man that knows <br />What he talks about, <br />And there's a politician <br />That has read and thought, <br />And maybe what they say is true <br />Of war and war's alarms, <br />But O that I were young again <br />And held her in my arms!<br /><br />William Butler Yeats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/politics/
