When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
—W. B. Yeats
Will W. Williams is a California-born, late-millennial artist who creates music, fiction, and poetry. He takes inspiration from the nine muses, as they appear and disappear in shifting faces around him. Shaped by an old-world sensibility, he creates art that explores what love ultimately is in all its forms—examining its many expressions through the timeless themes of love and loss.
