Thanks for the comment, Deb Anderson. You’re right. I’m sure it was a typo, and I’ve made the change.

Rob Doggett commented on the post, Yeats and Forestry, on the site Irish Studies 10 years, 6 months ago

Rob Doggett commented on the post, Yeats’ Reading of “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”, on the site Irish Studies 10 years, 6 months ago
Rhythmic chant is right, I think. The idea is to create an experience of poetry that is entirely separate from ordinary encounters with language. The idea is to accent the rhythm so the poem is experienced almost […]

Rob Doggett commented on the post, Stage Directions in The Only Jealousy of Emer, on the site Irish Studies 10 years, 6 months ago
Yes, that makes sense. For Yeats, the theater was to be “like a secret society” where only certain people are allowed in. Just as the hostess controls who gets invited to a wealthy dinner, Yeats wants to control […]

Vera, this might be a fun little project for you–see if you can find any critical commentary on Yeats’s “Magic” that draws a connection…[Read more]

Rob Doggett replied to the topic Thoughts on "The Lover tells of the Rose in his Heart" in the forum
Irish Studies 10 years, 7 months agoOne of the things that interesting about “The Lover tells of the Rose in his Heart” is the phrase, “casket of gold.” There’s a sense of something at once important (gold) and dead (casket), as if what the lover wants of his beloved is to freeze into pure essence–to become, in other words, a beautiful (but dead) statue.
