Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]Yeats would write that he has "noticed that clairvoyance, prevision, and allied gifts, rare among the educated classes, are common among peasants" ("OB" 238). [...]contact with the sou, with the peasant, and with myth and folk tradition is equally essential for renewal. In laying hate and love side-byside, the poet emphasizes their relationship, their ability to heighten the impact of one another. [...]the image of the bridal bed stresses sexual pleasure and the continuation of life, the perpetuation of the cycles of sorrow and joy. [...]in a reference to the devotions of courdy love, brought with "Strongbow and Henry" (174), Gogarty comments that "your long limbs and your golden hair affright men/Slaves are their souls, and instinctively they hate them" (175). [...]critical attention has fulfilled Hayward's predictions, focusing, as Gale Schricker points out, on Yeats's favoritism of "friends and fellow countrymen" (1 85) and his neglect of "his truly great poetic peers" (185). [...]as Foster observes, the "andiology was perceived as all the more eccentric because it carried the Oxford imprint: the blue and gold binding was supposed to convey audiority, definitiveness, and permanence.
