Critical Study of Yeats’ Poetry

A true artist …

Unity of form and ideas …

tension

…a fragmented and chaotic world …

…love, regret and loneliness …

… heroism, loss and envy …

Human condition

‘I will hammer my thoughts into a unity’

‘my heart has grown sore’

Porphyry’s Cave of the Nymphs

“less about aging than it is about the longing for the divine”

A desire for immortality …

“universal paradigms of permanence and flux”
