Topic: The Winding Stair and Other Poems


  
  William Butler Yeats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
His other early poems are lyrics on the themes of love or mystical and esoteric subjects.
Modernists read the well-known poem The Second Coming as a dirge for the decline of European civilization in the mode of Eliot, but later critics have pointed out that this poem is an expression of Yeats' apocalyptic mystical theories, and thus the expression of a mind shaped by the 1890s.
His poem, "The Second Coming" is one of the most potent sources of imagery about the 20th century.

 William Butler Yeats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The long title poem, the first that he would not disown in his maturity, was based on the poems of the Fenian Cycle of Irish mythology.
Together with Lady Gregory and Martyn and other writers including J M Synge, Sean O'Casey, and Padraic Colum, Yeats was one of those responsible for the establishment of the literary movement known as the Irish Literary Revival (otherwise known as the Celtic Revival).
One of Yeats' later poems, collected in The Tower, was based on the Leda and the Swan myth.

Pound's renditions of Chinese poems in Cathay are among the highlights of English poetry, even though he was working from Fenollosa's notes of a Japanese scholar's commentary, made numerous mistakes, and at one point combined two poems into one.
Other Russian poets, such as Pasternak, Akhmatova and Mandelstam, seem to surmount the hurdle, though never satisfactorily, so I'm lead to believe Pushkin is probably an exceptional exception.
Among other factors which contribute to his notoriety was his massacre of the defenders following the signing of the ceasefire, or Treaty of Limerick.
