Imaginations and Reveries

Imaginations And Reveries is a collection of essays and reflections by George William Russell, an Irish poet, writer, and artist. The book is a compilation of his musings on various topics, including art, nature, spirituality, and the human experience. Russell's writing style is poetic and philosophical, and his reflections are deeply introspective and thought-provoking. He explores the mysteries of the universe and the human soul, delving into the realms of imagination and spirituality. The book is a testament to Russell's creativity and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience through his writing. It is a must-read for anyone interested in poetry, philosophy, or spirituality.The art of Hone and the elder Yeats, while in spirit filled with a sentiment which was the persistence of ancient moods into modern times, still has not the external characteristics of Gaeldom; but looking at the pictures of the younger Yeats it seemed to me that for the first time we had something which could be called altogether Gaelic. The incompleteness of the sketches suggests the term ""folk"" as expressing exactly the inspiration of this very genuine art. We have had abundance of Irish folk-lore, but we knew nothing of folk-art until the figures of Jack Yeats first romped into our imagination a few years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
