'Dolls' Summary
''Dolls'' is a collection of poems that showcase Yeats's early poetic style, characterized by its lyrical flow and exploration of romantic themes. The poems often draw on Irish folklore and mythology, weaving together elements of nature, love, and spiritual longing. Yeats's evocative language and symbolic imagery create a world of dreams, desires, and poignant reflections on the human condition. In 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree,' Yeats longs for a retreat from the world's noise, while 'The Song of Wandering Aengus' tells the story of a love lost and found through dreams. 'The Stolen Child' presents a haunting tale of an otherworldly being who lures a child away from its human family, highlighting the allure and dangers of the mystical world. Through these poems, Yeats invites readers to delve into the depths of his imagination and discover the poetic language of the soul.Book Details
