A wonderful encounter between a "poet who regards poetry as his life" and "the greatest English poet of the 20th century". Ye Ci and Yang Mu, famous translations of famous works, are extremely famous.
Reader comments
The story and emotions in the poem are very attractive, but I kind of hate Yeats's pessimistic view of reality in the poem. He always captures those delicate emotions and makes me fall deeply into them. Especially the sentence "Although they share the Celtic language of Gael" made me feel the history and culture of Ireland. Overall, this anthology gave me a deeper understanding and love for poetry.
