Publisher's Synopsis

The Secret Rose is a collection of poems and short stories written by the famous Irish poet and writer, W. B. Yeats. The book was first published in 1897 and has since become a classic of Irish literature. The collection is divided into two parts: The Rose and The Shadowy Waters. The Rose contains a series of poems that focus on Yeats' fascination with the mystical and supernatural aspects of Irish folklore and mythology. The poems are filled with rich imagery and symbolism, exploring themes such as love, death, and the search for spiritual enlightenment. The Shadowy Waters is a play that tells the story of a young man who sets out on a journey to find a magical island where he hopes to find his true love. Along the way, he encounters a series of obstacles and challenges that test his courage and determination. The play is a powerful exploration of the human psyche and the quest for self-discovery. Overall, The Secret Rose is a beautiful and haunting collection that showcases Yeats' mastery of the English language and his deep understanding of Irish culture and mythology.THIS 120 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Stories of Red Hanrahan; The Secret Rose; Rosa Alchemica, by W.
