A Selection From The Love Poetry Of William Butler Yeats [by W.B Yeats]

William Butler Yeats was the son of a well-known Irish painter, John Butler Yeats. He studied painting as a young man but quickly discovered he preferred poetry. Yeats became involved with the Celtic Revival, a movement against the cultural influences of English rule in Ireland during the Victorian period, which sought to promote the spirit of Ireland’s native heritage. His writing drew extensively from sources in Irish mythology and folklore. Also a potent influence on his poetry was the Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne, whom he met in 1889, a woman equally famous for her passionate nationalist politics and her beauty. Though she married another man in 1903 and grew apart from Yeats, she remained a powerful figure in his poetry

Contained in this volume are 33 of his finest love poems, including; He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, When You are Old & The Lover Tells of the Rose in His Heart
