Brown Penny ~ Must Love Dogs
I am watching the movie, Must Love Dogs, what a great story! I wish it were mine!!
In the movie, the Dad recites Yeat's poem, Brown Penny, below.
In looking for the poem, I also found the other one, below as well, When you are Old. I REALLY like that one a lot.
Sometimes love is better, more based in reality, more complete, and more fulfilling, than others................
~William Butler Yeats

Sometimes love is better, more based in reality, more complete, and more fulfilling, than others................
I WHISPERED, 'I am too young.'
And then, 'I am old enough';
Wherefore I threw a penny
To find out if I might love.
'Go and love, go and love, young man,
If the lady be young and fair.'
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
I am looped in the loops of her hair.
O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away
And the shadows eaten the moon.
Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny,
One cannot begin it too soon.
~William Butler Yeats
