Publisher's Synopsis
""Samhain"" is a collection of poems by the renowned Irish poet, William Butler Yeats. The title refers to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. The poems in this collection touch on themes of love, death, and the supernatural, drawing on Yeats' deep knowledge of Irish folklore and mythology. Many of the poems also explore the tensions between tradition and modernity, as Yeats grapples with the changing cultural landscape of Ireland in the early 20th century. With its rich imagery and lyrical language, ""Samhain"" is a powerful testament to Yeats' enduring influence on the world of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
