WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Poems 1895 Yeats arrived in London in 1887 when he was 22. He had already become involved in theosophy and hermetic matters, and during the 1890s, with London as his base, he was to found the Irish theatre movement and join the Irish Republican Brotherhood. He was the moving force behind the Rhymers' Club, especially close to Arthur Symons and Lionel Johnson. Poems 1895 was the first of his many attempts to collect his works, containing ‘all the writer cares to preserve out of his previous volumes of verse’ and including plays such as ‘The Countess Cathleen’ and favourite early poems, ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’, ‘When you are Old’, and ‘Down by the Salley Gardens’ among them. £32.50 $49.50 Nor may I less be counted one |
