W.B. Yeats - Thryft
W.B. Yeats - Thryft

Irish poetic genius fuses folklore with modernity.

If you have a penchant for poetic landscapes painted with mythic Irish imagery, Yeats will transport you. His Nobel-winning pen weaves folklore with a touch of the occult to explore not just the modern world but also the mystic. As you rummage through his verses, you might just find the essence of early 20th-century Ireland calling to you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: ""One time it was a woman's face, or worse-""The seeming needs of my fool-driven land;""Now nothing but comes readier to the hand""Than this accustomed toil.""--"From" All Things Can Tempt Me" Nobel Prize winner W.B. Yeats laid the foundations for an Irish literary revival, drawing inspiration from his country's folklore, the occult, and Celtic philosophy. A writer of both poems and plays, he helped found Dublin's famed Abbey Theatre. The poems here provide an example of his life's work and artistry, beginning with verses such as "The Stolen Child" from his debut collection "Crossways "(written when he was 24) through "Why Should Not Old Men Be Mad?" from "On the Boiler," published a year prior to his death.
