Irish poet and dramatist and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and founded the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief during its early years. In 1923, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature for what the Nobel Committee described as "inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation;" and he was the first Irishman so honored. Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers whose greatest works were completed after being awarded the Nobel Prize; such works include The Tower [1928] and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1929].Yeats was born and educated in Dublin, but spent his childhood in County Sligo. He studied poetry in his youth, and from an early age was fascinated by both Irish legends and the occult. Those topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the century. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and those slowly paced and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser and Percy Bysshe Shelley, as well as to the lyricism of the Pre-Raphaelite poets. From 1900, Yeats' poetry grew more physical and realistic. He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life. Over the years, Yeats adopted many different ideological positions, including, in the words of the critic Michael Valdez Moses, "those of radical nationalist, classical liberal, reactionary conservative and millenarian nihilist".

It may be better to start with the notes as Yeats explains the Irish mythology he draws on and the symbols he uses. In the poetry Yeats repeats certain images too much, so that it seems repetitive. These images, already established as symbols, (e.g. the rose, dreams, sleep, the wind, hair), become rather ineffective as they immediately prompt symbolic or abstract thought. I no sooner read the image then question what it means. Poetry engages the reader first by its literal meaning, there is vitality in original imagery, which is lacking here. The one poem in this collection that does engage is "Aedh Tells of the Rose in His Heart," which I would rank as the best poem in the book. I also found "Valley of the Black Pig" interesting as Yeats writes of the mythological more than folklore, which is the subject and style of the other poems.

By Amazon Customer I went out to the hazel wood,Because a fire was in my head,And cut and peeled a hazel wand,And hooked a berry on a thread;And when white moths were on the wing,And moth-like stars were flickering out,I dropped the berry in a streamAnd caught a little silver trout.When I had laid it on the floorI went to blow the fire a-flameBut something rustled on the floor,And someone called me by my name:It had become a glimmering girlWith apple-blossom in her hairWho called me by my name and ranAnd faded through the brightening air.Though I am old with wanderingThrough hollow lands and hilly lands,I will find out where she has gone,And kiss her lips, and take her hands;And walk among long dappled grass,And pluck til time and times are done,The silver apples of the moon,The golden apples of the sun.

They start with his later poems and work their way backward and I assume find that it becomes more intellectually or culturally challenging as the read his earliest works. In this collection, Yeats demands that the reader acquaints himself with Celtic lore and symbolism and if the reader does not, than this collection will be an infuriating experience.For the modern young reader who may be fascinated by mysticism, magical realism, cultures outside the classical European experience, he may find that acquainting himself with Celtic history before he reads the collection will be most a rewarding manner to approach this collection.Remember there were several decades between this collection and "Sailing To Byzantium."
