Produktbeschreibung
Sometimes when I remember a relative that I have been fond of, or a strange incident of the past, I wander here and there till I have somebody to talk to. Presently I notice that my listener is bored; but now that I have written it out, I may even begin to forget it all. In any case, because one can always close a book, my friend need not be bored.I have changed nothing to my knowledge, and yet it must be that I have changed many things without my knowledge, for I am writing after so many years, and have consulted neither friend nor letter nor old newspaper and describe what comes oftenest into my memory.I say this fearing that some surviving friend of my youth may remember something in a different shape and be offended with my book.
Autorenporträt
William Butler Yeats, known as W. B. Yeats (1865-1939), was a seminal figure in 20th-century literature, a beacon of the Irish literary revival, and a co-founder of the famed Abbey Theatre. Born in Dublin, his early work reflected the rich storytelling of the Irish peasantry, often imbuing myth, folklore, and spiritualism. Yeats evolved to incorporate more personal reflections and modernist inclinations over time, with a complexity that mirrored his interest in mysticism and the esoteric. His poetry exhibits a mastery of traditional verse forms as well as a pioneering spirit that was always pushing boundaries. Yeats' 'Reveries over Childhood and Youth' (1916) is an autobiographical meditation that delves into the formative experiences of his early years, offering insights into the development of his consciousness and artistic sensibilities. As a writer, Yeats' literary style is noted for its symbolic richness, lyrical beauty, and profound philosophical depth, which earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. His work has endured, not just as an artifact of the Irish cultural renaissance, but as a lasting part of world literature, continually celebrated and studied for its intricate blend of emotion, intellect, and cultural commentary.
