| | William Butler Yeats |
| | Yeats is at his most ‘philosophical’ in his exploratory reflections on the notions of self and anti-self. | | | The book is in fact a curiously daunting mixture of mystical and quasi-astrological thinking, made all the more curious and challenging by Yeats’s claim that the contents were presented to him by ‘instructors’ speaking through the medium of his sleeping wife. | | | In an essay on William Blake he recognizes and celebrates an important difference between reason and imagination. |

| | William Butler Yeats: The Man, The Writer |
| | Yeats labeled himself a socialist, one who despised the middle classes, and his ideal Ireland was divided between a hard-riding Protestant of fine artistic tastes and a devout Catholic peasantry, full of instinctive wisdom and preserving a living folklore (Rogers, 384). | | | Yeats would die at seventy-three, disillusioned with his Ireland and his life, but that he loved them both still is unquestionable. | | | Yeats was a poet at his deepest, most personal level. |

| | However, increased involvement with nationalist politics was to have a significant impact on his poetic style: his diction grew plainer, the syntax tighter and the verse structures, whilst retaining their traditional form, more muscular. | | | His personal life was also changing: after a final rejection from Maud Gonne and then from her daughter, Yeats married Georgie Hyde Lees with whom he was very happy. | | | Another important influence at this time was Modernism, Ezra Pound in particular, who introduced Yeats to the principles of Japanese Noh theatre. |

| | Yeats' early writing shows the influence of his fellow Aesthetes in its tendency toward mysticism. | | | Yeats' elaborate webs of symbols meanwhile became more personal and idiosyncratic. | | | As his desire to resist Victorian materialism grew, he looked for time-tested symbols that could give meaning to human experience, drawing inspiration from the metaphysical poet John Donne. |

| | Yeats' mother Susan Pollexfen Yeats, the daughter of a successful merchant from Sligo in western Ireland, was descended from a line of intense, eccentric people interested in faeries and astrology. | | | To Yeats, Gonne represented an ideal, and throughout his life he found the tension between them, as well as their friendship, a source of poetic inspiration. | | | Under the influence of O'Leary, Yeats took up the cause of Gaelic writers at a time when much native Irish literature was in danger of being lost as the result of England's attempts to anglicize Ireland through a ban on the Gaelic language. |
