Yeats

 

He:Tragedy is about you,

Comedy about us.

She:I think that's true.

What business

has tragedy with what connects?

Or rather, it's our connections,

comedy what we suspect.

He:That we're capable of correction.

She:Learning is comic, then.

He:In learning tragedy our laughter

flows through all men.

She:The knowledge comes after.

Tragedy is not about me

since I am us.

He:Though you are what I see

In tragic business.
