King Eochaid seized the horns in his strong hands
And stared into the sea-green eye, and so

Covered with embroideries

I'm working my way through a collected Yeats edition in chronological order and there's a great jump in quality between this and his previous publication. Surer in his own voice, at times to me crystal clear and illuminating like the very best poetry. An exceptional collection in its own right. Very
Some of these are very, very good. This is what I always expected to find from Yeats.
