  • on He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven by William Butler Yeats, on June 24, 2007

    Yeats' 'Cloths Of Heaven'

    Seeming simplicity belies wonderful imagery! Extended metaphor of celestial 'cloth', magically transformed into the humble 'dreams' is wonderful. Love the quiet imperative in last line which seems to be a plea due to the adverb 'softly' and the hushed sibilance; a lovely classic indeed!
