The Wanderings Of Oisin

The Wanderings of Oisin is a poetic work by the Irish writer William Butler Yeats. It was first published in 1889 and is considered one of Yeats' most significant early works. The poem tells the story of Oisin, a legendary Irish hero who travels to the land of the faeries and falls in love with a beautiful faerie queen named Niamh. Oisin spends many years in the land of the faeries, but eventually returns to Ireland, where he finds that centuries have passed and everything he knew has changed. The poem explores themes of love, loss, and the passing of time, and draws heavily on Irish mythology and folklore. Yeats' writing style is characterized by its musicality and its use of symbolism and imagery, making The Wanderings of Oisin a rich and complex work that rewards careful reading and interpretation.NOW, man of croziers, shadows called our names And then away, away, like whirling flames; And now fled by, mist-covered, without sound, The youth and lady and the deer and hound; ""Gaze no more on the phantoms, ' Niamh said, And kissed my eyes, and, swaying her bright head And her bright body, sang of faery and man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
