Open LibraryAbout this book
Comments by Bob Corbett March 2012 The Celtic Twilight is divided into two parts. The first, written mainly in 1902, but some pieces as early as 1892, are small notes Yeats made in west Ireland as he was out gathering experiences and stories of others. The second part of the book, about 40% of the text, are poems set in Ireland and relevant to his exploration of the spirit world of Ireland.
