The Local Color of W. B. Yeat and Seamus Heaney
Abstract
At the year Yeats died(1939) Heaney was born. It seems to say a meaningfulrelationship of the two poets who had achieved a great poetic success at the earlyand later 20th century. Yeats’ poems are full of folk tales and heroes of old Irelandto inspire their rational pride. Heaney also tried to take poetic themes from Irishlocal nature. The lake of Yeats and the bog of Heaney are good examples of theirlocalism. In Yeats’ poems, the lake is a symbol of his love for the native and akind of spiritual home where young Yeats fell in deep imagination of fairy stories.But Yeats did not try to express his homeland in realistic style. For Heaney, thebog is a good symbol which tells the tragic Irish history and people. Its hardeningcrusts on the surface look like those of bruises of tragic history of Ireland. Thedeep sinking bog is also telling the poor Irish lives. In his “The death of aNaturalist” and “Private Helicon” we can feel his typical localism. In “Digging” and“Follower” we can read the love for his family. Comparing these two poets we canconclude that Yeats is rather dreamy and Heaney realistic.
