Nicholas Grene explores Yeats's poetic codes of practice, the key
words and habits of speech that shape the reading experience of his
poetry. Where previous studies have sought to decode his work,
expounding its symbolic meanings by references to Yeats's occult
beliefs, philosophical ideas or political ideology, the focus here
is on his poetic technique, its typical forms and their
implications for the understanding of the poems. Grene is concerned
with the distinctive stylistic signatures of the Collected Poems:
the use of dates and place names within individual poems; the
handling of demonstratives and of grammatical tense and mood;
certain nodal Yeatsian words ("dream," "bitter," "sweet") and
images (birds and beasts); dialogue and monologue as the voices of
his dramatic lyrics. The aim throughout is to illustrate the
shifting and unstable movement between lived reality and
transcendental thought in Yeats, the embodied quality of his poetry
between a phenomenal world of sight and an imagined world of
vision.
