Quote by William Butler Yeats

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That's all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.

Wine comes in at the mouth And love comes in at the eye That

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that our experience of wine and love is limited to sensory perception. It suggests that we can only truly know the taste of wine through our mouths and the feeling of love through our eyes. However, the quote also implies that these experiences, while precious, are fleeting and ultimately come to an end as we age and eventually meet death. It highlights the temporary nature of these pleasures and hints at the transient nature of life itself.
