Colleen Byrne Mrs McQuoid Argument essay 11/25/15 William B. Yeats wrote that “Education is not filling a bucket‚ but lighting a fire.” Those words are a perfect description of the education system today. Education is no more than “filling the bucket” of a child’s mind. Which basically implies that education is just facts and memorization. Grades nowadays are seen as the most important thing. If you get good grades you get into college‚ if you do not‚ you work at Mcdonalds for the rest of your

W. B. Yeats‚ a somewhat eclectic poet‚ explores‚ throughout his work‚ a wide range of themes and ideas. He reflects on his nation’s politics‚ Irish mysticism‚ the afterlife‚ love‚ and his own past. While each set of his poems share many recurring images‚ however‚ it is Yeats’ examination and opinions of the gyres of time and history that crop up in all forms of his poetry.

Yeats switches between

Curse” William Butler Yeats William Yeats’ “Adam’s Curse” is a poem that addresses a profound truth of time. Any human accomplishment such as poetry‚ music‚ or physical beauty requires much labor and is appreciated by few. He says this through an emotional recollection of a conversation between himself‚ his lover and her friend. I believe the meaning of the work lays waiting like a net‚ waiting to catch the reader at surface level. The poem is simplistic in nature‚ which is quite atypical of Yeats’ poems‚
