'All Things Can Tempt Me' Summary
'All Things Can Tempt Me' is a collection of poems by William Butler Yeats, originally published in 1912 as part of 'The Green Helmet and Other Poems.' These poems delve into Yeats's preoccupation with Irish mythology, the seductive power of nature, and the complexities of human emotions. The collection features a diverse range of topics, from passionate love and the allure of the natural world to the exploration of personal struggles and the search for meaning in a world full of temptation. Yeats employs rich imagery and symbolism to convey these themes, creating a world of beauty and depth.
