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”
