Circle of the Moon

Shanahan, Angie - acrylic on canvas

Come let us mock at the good

That fancied goodness might be gay,

And sick of solitude

Might proclaim a holiday:

Wind shrieked - and where are they?

Mock mockers after that

That would not lift a hand maybe

To help good, wise or great

To bar that foul storm out, for we

Traffic in mockery.

…. from Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen by W B Yeats
