"Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame."

"Now, man of the 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."

The Wanderings of Oisin, by W.B. Yeats, 1889

For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
than he can understand.

I will find out where she has gone,
& kiss her lips & take her hands;
& walk among long dappled grass,
& pluck till time & times are done,

Yeats,legato al preraffaellismo e al folklore irlandese,rivestì all’inizio i suoi versi di veli crepuscolari;poi gli scritti e le incisioni del poeta, pittore W.Blake,con le sue titaniche evanescenti visioni di un mondo di giganti,dettero alla sua poetica una sferzata di energia.
