Respond in detail to the poems, picking several to read more closely. In class I will ask you to highlight those poems. Remark on Yeats's middle style as a resolution of the polarity discussed in Ellmann's account of the young poet. How did Yeats manage, through poetic style, to "hammer his thoughts into unity," and what sort of unity resulted? What is "modern" about this middle style?
