Summary "The Collected Works in Verse and Prose of William Butler Yeats, Vol. 7 (of 8)" by William Butler Yeats is a collection of poetry, prose, and stories likely written in the early 20th century. This volume includes various works that explore themes of spirituality, Irish identity, and the conflict between the natural and the supernatural. It is a reflection of Yeats's deep engagement with Irish folklore, mythology, and the complexities of human experience, capturing the struggles between higher aspirations and earthly desires. At the start of this volume, readers are introduced to several pieces, beginning with "The Secret Rose," where Yeats emphasizes the mystical journey of the soul, hinting at the interplay of beauty and suffering. The opening portion includes a dedication to a fellow poet, asserting that the stories presented are unified in their exploration of spiritual conflicts. "The Crucifixion of the Outcast" introduces a gleeman named Cumhal, whose journey results in a poignant commentary on the nature of existence, highlighting themes of exile and the brutality faced by those at odds with societal norms, foreshadowing the intense emotional and philosophical explorations that define Yeats's oeuvre.
