Textual notes provide a full record of the copy-texts employed & any emendations admitted to the poems. This SPLENDID collection reveals the EXTRAORDINARY breadth of Yeats' verse, ranging from skillful retellings of ancient Irish myths & legends to passionate meditations on the demands & rewards of youth & old age. The EXQUISTE, occasionally whimsical songs of love, nature, & art stand in dramatic contrast to the somber & angry poems of life in a nation torn by war & uprising. And, in the rich & recurrent imagery of the rose, the gyre, & the tower, the reader can trace Yeats' quest to unite intellect & artistry in a single COMPELLING vision. Now, more than 80 years after his death, Yeats' verse continues to speak w/ clarity & eloquence through these timeless creations of a master craftsmen. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: Richard J.
