Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all.

Another quote by W.B. Yeats

Things said or done long years ago,
Or things I did not do or say
But thought that I might say or do,
Weigh me down, and not a day
But something is recalled,
My conscience or my vanity appalled.

W.B. Yeats
