Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Robartes and the Dancer is a collection of poems by Irish poet W.B. Yeats, first published in 1921. The collection is divided into two sections, with the first section containing poems that explore the themes of love, loss, and the human condition, while the second section focuses on the character of Michael Robartes, a fictional figure who serves as a symbol of the poet's own spiritual and artistic quest.The poems in the first section are characterized by Yeats' use of vivid imagery and rich symbolism, as he explores themes such as the transience of life, the power of memory, and the search for meaning in a world that can often seem chaotic and uncertain. The second section of the book is more experimental in nature, with Yeats using Robartes as a vehicle for exploring his own ideas about the nature of art, spirituality, and the creative process.Throughout the collection, Yeats displays his mastery of language and his ability to weave complex ideas and themes into his poetry. Michael Robartes and the Dancer is considered one of Yeats' most important works and is a must-read for anyone interested in modern poetry and the Irish literary tradition.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1920 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
