This poem has themes that are also relevant in some of Yeats’ other poems such as ‘Wandering Aengus’ and ‘Wild Swans at Coole’. This poem was written in 1886 when Yeats was 21 years old‚ this is near the beginning of his writing career At first the magical faery world is described as a calm‚ natural setting with the lake and ‘flapping herons’.

Here Yeats wishes to replace the dreariness of London with the idyllic world of Innisfree. The poem opens with an almost hypnotically strong sense of determination:

The Tension Displayed in W.B Yeats’ Poetry When one hears the name ‘Yeats’‚ one most likely thinks of the man many consider to be Ireland’s greatest ever poet. However‚ if you were to ask these poets to discuss their favourite aspects of his poetry‚ I am sure that the response would amount to little more than some ‘umming’ and ‘errring’ and the occasional ‘his alliteration’ from those who remember their days at school.

Yeats’s interest in mysticism‚ the occult‚ ancient civilizations‚ eastern religions‚ theosophy and Celtic myths and motifs are highly influential in supporting this tension between the real and the ideal. This statement exemplifies Yeats’s adage;

The Wild Swans at Coole The trees are in their autumn beauty‚ The woodland paths are dry‚ Under the October twilight the water Mirrors a still sky; Upon the brimming water among the stones Are nine-and-fifty Swans. The nineteenth autumn has come upon me Since I first made my count; I saw‚ before I had well finished‚ All suddenly mount And scatter wheeling in great broken rings Upon their clamorous wings. I have looked upon those brilliant creatures‚ And now my heart is sore. All’s
