Book excerpt: Beautiful early writings by one of the 20th century’s greatest poets on the 150th anniversary of his birth A Penguin Classic The poems, prose, and drama gathered in When You Are Old present a fresh portrait of the Nobel Prize–winning writer as a younger man: the 1890s aesthete who dressed as a dandy, collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and wrote heartrending poems for his beloved, the beautiful, elusive Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne. Included here are such celebrated, lyrical poems as “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” and “He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven,” as well as Yeats’s imaginative retellings of Irish fairytales—including his first major poem, “The Wanderings of Oisin,” based on a Celtic fable—and his critical writings, which offer a fascinating window onto his artistic theories. Through these enchanting works, readers will encounter Yeats as the mystical, lovelorn bard and Irish nationalist popular during his own lifetime.

Download or read book Selected Poems written by W. B. Yeats and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, romantic and modernist, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet, W.B.Yeats starts writing with the motive of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T.S.Eliot, one of many who affirms the Irishman's greatness, described Yeats as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them.' For anyone concerned in the literature of the twentieth century, Yeat's poetry claims to be read. This volume combines poetry from the nostalgic charming early lyrics by which he is still best remembered, to the marvelous later work, which put beyond question his position as the principal poet of his age. From mastery tellings of old Irish myths and legends to eloquent meditations on the clamors and rewards of youth and old age, these elegant, occasionally playful songs of love, nature and art stand in dramatic comparison to the obscure and angry poems of life in a nation changed by war and disturbance. In the affluent and frequent imagery of the rose, the gyre and the tower the reader can trace Yeats's quest to join intellect and artistry in one fascinating ideal. Included in this edition, the play "Countess Cathleen" tales place in a historically in Ireland during a famine. The idealistic Countess of the title sells her soul to the devil so that she can save her tenants from starvation and from damnation for having sold their own souls. After her death, she is redeemed, as her motives were altruistic and ascend to Heaven.
