Poetry Corner: A Deep-Sworn Vow by W.B. Yeats

{image source}

Others because you did not keep

That deep-sworn vow have been friends of mine;

Yet always when I look death in the face, 

When I clamber to the heights of sleep,

Or when I grow excited with wine,

Suddenly I meet your face.

- William Butler Yeats

{This is my favorite poem of all time. I had to share it this week because I am working on a story that is sort of inspired by it.}
