First appearing in 1893 this was the second collection of poetry by WB Yeats. This beautiful collection translates the two thousand year old mythos of Ireland into words which have inspired and touched readers from around the world.The famous poem The Lake Isle of Innisfree is included along with the essay WB Yeats and Today's Political Elite by Tim Dalgleish. The 'rose'of the title stands for Yeats' homeland but also for Maud Gonne the great unrequited love of his life. Romantic and symbolic, once read, the poems root themselves in one's psyche. This is the Celtic Twilight brought to life.
