Poem by William Butler Yeats

The Realists

Hope that you may understand!
What can books of men that wive
In a dragon-guarded land,
Paintings of the dolphin-drawn
Sea-nymphs in their pearly waggons
Do, but awake a hope to live
That had gone
With the dragons?

1. The Well and the Tree
2. An Appointment
3. The Dolls
4. The Consolation
5. Against Unworthy Praise
