Yeats‘s Symbols for Unity of Dualistic Aspects in Human Life

Hyun Sook Huh

Abstract

Through his long poetic career from 1885 to 1939 Yeats was preoccupied with thedualistic nature in this world - the ideal against the real, body against sou, and Selfagainst Anti-self. He was aware that these conflicts and contradictions are necessary forthe mental growth in man and through the struggles between these opposites one mayachieve the state of the whole. In his attitude toward life Yeats embraced with openmind both what he is and what he wants bo be. The two opposites are co-existent andinseparable to be united into the Whole Being. Yeats has applied the symbols of‘sexual union’ and ‘dance’ to his poetry in order to express ecstatic experience of ‘Unityof Being.’ This paper traces up Yeats’s attitudes toward life, and studies the aspects ofconflicts and contradictions, through which one may attain the ‘Unity of Being,’ theideal that Yeats had searched in his poetry and other activities.
