The Tower

Trever

At times it feels as if Yeats is whining about being old, but whining in the most beautiful way. The stuff about the Irish Civil War was less interesting, but nonetheless this is pretty good. IMO, "The Tower" was the best one in here; my favorite of his poems, "The Second Coming", isn't in this one.
