The final phrase, “the rich whole that never came but that all the preparations promised,” is in fact a recall of the concluding phrase of Yeats’s “Reveries Over Childhood and Youth”: “All life weighed in the scales of my own life seems to me a PREPARATION for something that never happens.” (Yeats 71)
