: All,
: I see a recurring "exit the garden" motif in Yeats e.g. Adam's Curse, Isle of Innesfree, Byzantium. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some references so I can turn this idea into a paper? I'd love to think I'm the first to notice this, but somehow...
It's ok guys, I pulled it off on my own. Using Sailing to Byzantium and Adam's Curse I was able to link the banishment from the Garden with Yeat's penchant for yearing for the eternal. This yearning for the unattainable "mask" of nature by the "will" results in a construct of idealized nature. I was even able to pull in JUNG by using a great article from THEORIA, "Yeats, Jung and the Integration of Archetypes" by Meizhuizen. This masterpiece has not yet been graded, and you all will only hear about it if it is an A, other wise, stony silence.
Keep your fingers crossed and/or sacrifice an unblemished goat.
Ille
