Quote by William Butler Yeats

How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart.

How far away the stars seem, and how far is our first kiss,

Summary

This quote captures the profound feelings of distance and age. It remarks on our perception of distance in both physical and emotional terms. The vastness of the stars and the intangible nature of our first kiss contribute to the notion of distance and the elusive nature of certain experiences. The reference to the heart's age hints at the passage of time and the accumulation of experiences that shape our emotions. Together, these elements evoke a sense of longing, wistfulness, and the bittersweet aspects of life's journey.
