W B Yeats

The Celtic Twilight W B Yeats

Here Yeats tells of encounters with the faerie folk of Ireland, providing insight into Irish folklore, myth and legend. In his own words... "I have desired, like every artist, to create a little world out of the beautiful, pleasant, and significant things of this marred and clumsy world.... I have therefore written down accurately and candidly much that I have heard and seen, and, except by way of commentary, nothing that I have merely imagined." Yeats
