Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The Celtic Twilight is one of his best-known collections of prose. He professes the firm belief in the realitiy of Fairies, who have considerable impact on his life, and the lives of all the Irish. On its own, this collection is a great overview of Celtic Fairy folklore.

Book excerpt: In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.

Book excerpt: The subject of fairies in Celtic cultures is a complex one that seems to endlessly intrigue people. What exactly are fairies? What can they do? How can we interact with them? Answering these questions becomes even harder in a world that is disconnected from the traditional folklore and flooded with modern sources that are often vastly at odds with the older beliefs.

The Otherworld is full of dangers and blessings, and this guidebook will help you navigate a safe course among the Good People.

This book was released on 2018-05-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the tales in this book were told me by one Paddy Flynn, a little bright-eyed old man, who lived in a leaky and one-roomed cabin in the village of Ballisodare, which is, he was wont to say, "the most gentle"-whereby he meant faery-"place in the whole of County Sligo." Others hold it, however, but second to Drumcliff and Drumahair. The first time I saw him he was cooking mushrooms for himself; the next time he was asleep under a hedge, smiling in his sleep. He was indeed always cheerful, though I thought I could see in his eyes (swift as the eyes of a rabbit, when they peered out of their wrinkled holes) a melancholy which was well-nigh a portion of their joy; the visionary melancholy of purely instinctive natures and of all animals.

Download or read book The Celtic Twilight written by W. B. Yeats and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the best-known collections of Yeats' prose; in it he explores the longstanding connection between the people of Ireland and the inhabitants of the land of Fairy. Yeats, who had profound mystic and visionary beliefs, writes with conviction of the reality of Fairies, both in his own experience, and in the everyday life of the Irish. This relatively short work serves as a way for readers to discover Yeats' powerful word craft and get an overview of Celtic Fairy lore. Yeats: I HAVE desired, like every artist, to create a little world out of the beautiful, pleasant, and significant things of this marred and clumsy world, and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any of my own people who would look where I bid them. I have therefore written down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen, and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined.

Download or read book The Celtic Twilight The Original Classic Edition written by W. B. Yeats and published by Tebbo. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Celtic Twilight, originally published in 1902, Yeats recites several accounts of encounters with the faerie folk and with the people of Ireland of the time which gives us insight into Irish folklore, myth and legend. Yeats associates poetry with religious ideas and sentiment. And, I believe that he saw himself as writing for Ireland, but a shadowy Ireland of Celtic mysteries and legends, not the Ireland of the modern day. By modern day, of course, I relate this to the modern day of Yeats in the late 1890s and early 1900s. In the introduction to Celtic Twilight Yeats states; I have therefore written down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen, and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined. I have, however, been at no pains to separate my own beliefs from those of the peasantry, but have rather let my men and women, dhouls and faeries, go their way unoffended or defended by any argument of mine. I got the strong impression from reading Celtic Twilight that Yeats actually believed in the existence of the faeries. Not just as some myth or legend, but as actual beings that exist in this world, though perhaps unseen by the common man. He wrote each story as if it was something that actually happened, having been related to him by the storyteller, or perhaps that which he had seen for himself in some past time, now recalled as he set pen to paper. There is a depth to Yeats writing that lies just below the surface, something thats perceived more than seen. The idea that perhaps magic and the faerie folk are alive in the world of today, but unseen, or perhaps only seen from time to time as a fleeting shadow until one knows just where to look. It is interesting to note that Yeats was heavily involved in occult studies and practices as part of the Madame Helene Blavatskys, Theosophical Society and later, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and finally in 1912 the Ordo Templi Orientis. This would have certainly influenced his outlook on life and his belief in, and dare we say ability to see the unseen things of this world. I too ask myself from time to time; just what unseen things exist in this world. Perhaps Yeats has seen that which other men can only hope for, or that which they turn away from in dread given the course of their spirits. Yeats also makes a profound observation: The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I found Yeats observation of particular interest, especially when it comes to theological or philosophical thought. If it is those things that we hear and see in life that forms the fabric of our beliefs, then surely we must take care that that which we see and hear forms strong enough threads so that the fabric we weave is not shoddy. Yeats works help us build those strong threads in our lives. For, he certainly influenced the world at large with his writings. In 1923 Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and in 1934 he shared the Gothenburg Prize for Poetry with Rudyard Kipling

Book excerpt: Эта книга - увлекательный путеводитель по ирландской истории и мифологии. В самом начале своей литературной карьеры будущий лауреат Нобелевской премии по литературе Уильям Батлер Йейтс увлекся ирландским фольклором и верованиями. Он недаром получил репутацию «певца кельтских сумерек», выпустив обширную коллекцию историй, песен и поэзии исторического и легендарного прошлого Ирландии. Йейтс не скрывал ни своей любви к кельтскому культурному наследию, ни веры в существование фей и волшебного мира. Сборник "Кельтские сумерки" включает сорок две легенды ирландского фольклора. Глубинное очарование писателя данной темой проходит через все страницы и открывает читателю дверь в новое измерение старинных историй. Читайте зарубежную литературу в оригинале!
