The Landscapes in W. B. Yeats and T. S. Eliot's Poetry
Abstract
This paper investigates the images of landscapes in the poetry of W. B. Yeatsand T. S. Eliot, the two greatest poets of the last century. Facing landscapes of thepresent world and the ancient as well, using his imagination, Yeats maximizes thepoetic quality in his poetry. Some of his favorite landscapes, for example, includeInnisfree, an islet in Sligo, Thor Ballylee in Coole Park, Byzantium, which delineateclear-cut images of his poetic themes. Either Yeats lived in Sligo with his mother'sparents in his childhood, stayed in Lady Gregory’s house in the Coole Park, andowned and lived in the tower, Thor Ballylee in summer; or he admired the oldByzantium that he idealizes in his supreme poems. They serve as optimummetaphors for his poetry, making his poetry simple but rich in its imagery.
On the other hand, Eliot focuses on delineating the life of modern man in hispoetry by using cities, including London, Boston, Paris, and St. Louis. The peopleof the cities are being described as faithless and purposeless with their mind void.His depiction of the city further represents the whole modern civilization. The bigcity is the backdrop of such infertile imagery of modern man.
