“although i liked many of the themes that yeats discusses in this collection of poems, and the way they are covered and explored, i found it really hard to follow and understand some poems (e.g. “The Gift of Harun Al-Rashid”), even after looking up for explanations and analyses.
the main topics are those of the cyclical nature of life, love, memory and history, aging and youth. some quotes are very touching. i think my favorite poems are:
- the tower
- nineteen hundred and nineteen
- the wheel
- leda and the swan
- among school children
- a man young and old”
About W. B. Yeats
William Butler Yeats (1865–1939) was an Irish poet, playwright, and author who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. Yeats published his first works in the mid-1880s while still a student; however, his most famous works, such as
and
, were not published until after he received the Nobel. He teamed up with Lady Gregory to develop plays in Ireland and soon founded the Irish National Theatre Society. He has since inspired poets and playwrights around the world.
