The The Celtic Twilight and Stories of Red Hanrahan Yeats, W. B. (William Butler) 1865-1939 creator text utu 2015 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The Collected Works in Verse and Prose of William Butler Yeats, Vol. 5 (of 8)" is a collection of poetry and prose written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This volume features Yeats’s exploration of Irish folklore, myth, and spirituality, particularly focusing on themes surrounding the fae and the complexities of belief and artistry in Ireland. The work is notable for its rich imagery and introspective commentary on the nature of storytelling and existence. The opening of this volume sets a contemplative tone, as Yeats introduces "The Celtic Twilight," a tapestry of tales informed by the narratives he absorbed from the Irish countryside and its people. He reflects on his desire to create a world that encapsulates the beauty and significance of Ireland, intertwining personal beliefs with those of the peasantry. Yeats begins with a particular figure, Paddy Flynn, a genial old storyteller, whose tales of faeries, ghosts, and the charm of commonplace life ground the narrative in the deeply rooted folklore. Through Flynn’s accounts and Yeats’s poetic prose, readers are invited into a mystical realm where belief, memory, and the haunting beauty of the Irish landscape converge.
