'The Green Helmet and Other Poems' is written by the acclaimed wordsmith, William Butler Yeats. Within this beautifully penned collection, Yeats unveils a tapestry of emotions, dreams, and profound insights woven through the delicate threads of his poetic craftsmanship. The following is an excerpt from one of the poems presented in the collection, entitled 'His Dream': "I swayed upon the gaudy stern / The butt end of a steering oar / And everywhere that I could turn / Men ran upon the shore."

Combines Celtic mythology, Irish politics, social criticism, and medieval legend in a tightly plotted folk tale. The play's rhymed dialogue is clear and readable, even more than the poems that precede it. With a plot that echoes Gawain and the Green Knight, Yeats's Irish heroes Laegaire (read as Leary), Conall, and Cuchulain battle each other as they try to outwit a faerie-like, fox-eyed trickster known as the Red Man.

Rich selection of 134 poems published between 1889 and 1914: "Lake Isle of Innisfree," "When You Are Old," "Down by the Salley Gardens," many more. Note. Alphabetical lists of titles and first lines.
