hey knock off his head and who maintains that after they have done that
he will knock off theirs. There is a real meaning in the play which it
will not take the thoughtful reader long to discover. Besides this there
are a number of shorter poems, notably one in which Mr. Yeats answers
his critics of "The Playboy of the Western World."

VOL. II. PLAYS (REVISED) _$2.00 net_

The two-volume edition of the Irish poet's works includes everything he
has done in verse up to the present time. The first volume contains his
lyrics; the second includes all of his five dramas in verse: "The
Countess Cathleen," "The Land of Heart's Desire," "The King's
Threshold," "On Baile's Strand," and "The Shadowy Waters."

William Butler Yeats stands among the few men to be reckoned with in
modern poetry, especially of a dramatic character. _The New York Sun_,
for example, refers to him as "an important factor in English
literature," and continues:--

"'Cathleen ni Hoolihan' is a perfect piece of artistic work, poetic and
wonderfully dramatic to read, and, we should imagine, far more dramatic
in the acting. Maeterlinck has never done anything so true or effective
as this short prose drama of Mr. Yeats's. There is not a superfluous
word in the play and no word that does not tell. It must be dangerous to
represent it in Ireland, for it is an Irish Marseillaise.... In 'The
Hour Glass' a noble and poetic idea is carried out effectively, while 'A
Pot of Broth' is merely a dramatized humorous anecdote. But 'Cathleen ni
Hoolihan' stirs the blood, and in itself establishes Mr. Yeats's
reputation for good."
