“William Butler Yeats deals with an interesting variety of subjects and his poetry is full of powerful images and impressive descriptions. Discuss.” Submitted by Hollie McLaughlin. I very much enjoy reading the poetry of William Butler Yeats. What I like about the poetry is the multi-faceted man who emerges. In Inisfree he is the searching‚ restless 25 year old‚ looking to nature as a kind of redemptive force. In ‘September 1913’ he is the ardent political critic of the soul-destroying materialism

things go wrong. In the poem Yeats is taking the role of flamers and he is giving the description of normal daily lives of people.

Discuss ways in which Yeats presents the faery world in ‘The Stolen Child’. In the poem ‘The Stolen Child’ Yeats presents the faery world as an idyllic place surrounded by ‘rocky highland’ where you can escape the outside world that is ‘full of weeping’.

‘Yeats’s poetry is driven by a tension between the real world in which he lives and an ideal world that he imagines’ The poetry of Yeats gives a deep‚ profound and though-provoking experience.
