Or comes in laughter from the sea's sad lips Īnd wage God's battles in the long gray ships. Or sighs amid the wandering, starry mirth, P.2 Who have sought more than is in rain or dew With blown, spray-dabbled hair gather at hand.ĭanger no refuge holds, and war no peace,įor him who hears love sing and never cease,īeside her clean-swept hearth, her quiet shade:īut gather all for whom no love hath made While hushed from fear, or loud with hope, a band The tall thought-woven sails, that flap unfurledĪbove the tide of hours, throuble the air,Īnd God's bell buoyed to be the water's care

Rose of all Roses, Rose of all the world!.

In 1923, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.A Selection from the Love Poetry of William Butler Yeats Corpus of Electronic Texts Edition Background details and bibliographic information A Selection from the Love Poetry of William Butler Yeats Author: William Butler Yeats File DescriptionĮlectronic edition compiled by Beatrix Färber, Sara Sponholz He largely renounced the transcendental beliefs of his youth, though he remained preoccupied with physical and spiritual masks, as well as with cyclical theories of life. From 1900, his poetry grew more physical and realistic. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889, and its slow-paced and lyrical poems display debts to Edmund Spenser, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and the poets of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

These topics feature in the first phase of his work, which lasted roughly until the turn of the 20th century. He spent childhood holidays in County Sligo and studied poetry from an early age, when he became fascinated by Irish legends and the occult. Yeats was born in Sandymount, Ireland, and educated there and in London. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn and others.
