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 and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any of my own people who would look where I bid them. 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.

Produktbeschreibung
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 and to show in a vision something of the face of Ireland to any of my own people who would look where I bid them. 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. I have, however, been at no pains to separate my own beliefs from those of the peasantry, but have rather let my men and women, ghouls and færies, go their way unoffended or defended by any argument of mine. The things a man has heard and seen are threads of life, and if he pull them carefully from the confused distaff of memory, any who will can weave them into whatever garments of belief please them best. I too have woven my garment like another, but I shall try to keep warm in it, and shall be well content if it do not unbecome me. Hope and Memory have one daughter and her name is Art and she has built her dwelling far from the desperate field where men hang out their garments upon forked boughs to be banners of battle. O beloved daughter of Hope and Memory, be with me for a little. -- W.B. Yeats

Autorenporträt
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an influential Irish poet, playwright, and essayist, regarded as one of the foremost figures in modern literature. Born in Dublin, Yeats was deeply immersed in Irish cultural and political life, which significantly shaped his literary output. His work is renowned for its rich symbolism, exploration of Irish mythology, and spiritual themes. Yeats's early poetry was influenced by the Romantic tradition, but his later work evolved to incorporate elements of mysticism, folklore, and the occult, reflecting his deep interest in esoteric subjects and Celtic tradition. His collection The Secret Rose exemplifies this shift, showcasing his engagement with Irish legends and symbolic imagery. A major figure in the Irish literary renaissance, Yeats was also a co-founder of the Abbey Theatre, which played a crucial role in the revival of Irish drama. His contributions to literature were recognized with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. Yeats's work remains pivotal in understanding both modernist poetry and Irish cultural history, leaving a lasting legacy through his innovative use of language and themes.
