"I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree," says the poet. He proceeds to describe an idyllic island in a lake to which he returns periodically to regain his peace of mind:
And I shall have some peace there,
for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning
to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer,
and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.William Butler Yeats, "The Lake Isle of Innisfree."
It would be very nice indeed if we all had a haven such as that to resort to when frayed by the frictions of a complicated world. Yet, according to Christian Science, at any given moment right where we are we have it within our power to change our lives for the better and find peace.
