A Zen Meditative Reconciliation of Yeats’s Creative Torpors and Fornits

Taeho Han

Abstract

Yeats as a visionary poet displays the basic Kabalistic creative mind or theinstinctual Zen self-reawakening insight; ignorant but wise, barbarian but civilized,beastly but non-intellectually spiritual, rough but pure, which can be compared withthe mysterious power of the humming bird who experiences two conflicting states oftorpor and freedom. To find his poetic “fornits” (mystic elves) or poetic expediencyor visionary reality that enables him to get over such poetic blocks, I meditate onhis poems in Words for Music Perhaps, so called Jane’s series (poems of madness),and “An Image for a Past Life.” I theoretically delve into his four epistemologicalcategories to holistically understand his poetics. I take up the Zen meditational Wayof hermeneutical insights.
