One of the most famous poets of the 20th century, William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was so popular and renowned during his time that he was the leader of what came to be known as the Irish Literary Revival, on the strength of his short stories and vivid poetry. Eventually it would lead to his winning a Nobel Prize in 1923. It’s no surprise that Ireland loved its home grown son; the Nobel Prize Committee credited him for “inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation.”Before Yeats won awards, his interest in spirituality and folklore drove him to write at length about Irish mythology and the occult before the turn of the 20th century. In many ways, it was Yeats who popularized the characters of Celtic mythology and medieval Irish folklore for contemporaneous audiences.

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."
