style above the ever rising level of modern poetry. No man stands so
apart in his own perfection as does this Irish poet and playwright, in his
art of discovering truths remote and beautiful. Serious, vital thoughts he
veils, as the genuine poet, in a cloak of fine rhythmical expression.

It is, after all, as a poet that the majority of people like to think of
Mr. Yeats, and this splendid collection, the first in a number of years,
is assured of a warm welcome.

_12mo, $1.50_

which Mr. Yeats answers the critics of "The Playboy of the Western
World."
