Yeats’s Conversation with the Romantic Poets in “Among School Children”
Abstract
This is a paper that shows how poetic dialogue plays upon poems between threedifferent authors, William Butler Yeats, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and WilliamWordsworth. Many of Yeats' poems broach a gentle issue of how they respond totheir poetic precursors. "Among School Children" can be read as an updated versionof a Romantic "conversation" poem. Coleridge applied the term "conversationalpoem" to "The Nightingale," one of twenty-tree poems in Lyrical Ballads of 1798.Earlier than this, a phrase Sermoni propriora ("suitable for conversation") appears inhis "Reflections, On Having Left a Place of Retirement." These two poemsdemonstrate Coleridge's conscious efforts at experimenting with conversational speechas a legitimate poetic language. Coleridge's conversational mode is in full bloom insuch remarkable poems as "The Lime-Tree Bower My Prison" and "Frost atMidnight," the latter a masterful lyric that paves ways for Wordsworth's "TinternAbbey" in its compositional mode and structure. The traffic between the twoRomantic authors and "Among School Children" is obvious--a noticeable parallelismis developed in terms of diction, figures, thematic structure, and rhetorical devices.Yeats's "Among School Children" serves as a poetic testimony to the on-goinglyrical dialogue that explores possible links between the workings of different poeticminds and that creates remarkable echoing effects.
