“All energy that comes from the whole man is as iregular as the lightning, for the communicable and forecastable and discoverable is a part only, a hungry chicken under the breast of the pelican, and the test of poetry is not in reason but in a delight not different from the delight that comes to a man at the first coming flove into the heart.”
Yeats's collection of literary, critical, and political essays, including "The Symbolism of Poetry," "J.M.Synge and the Ireland of his Time," "Certain noble plays of Japan," and "A General Introduction for my Work."
