The selected song cycles were written by composers of different backgrounds who were inspired by cultures outside of their own through travel or other means of exposure.

The inner world exile in The Wanderer and The Wife’s Lament have in common that both exiles are affected by emotions. Both of these poems address exile in different ways; The wanderer in the inner world of exile is centered around loneliness and isolation, and self expression of wisdom.

The gentle contrast between the voice and piano accompaniment creates a subtle tension that underlies the piece and emphasizes the dichotomy and separation of the sky and the earth throughout the poem.

The same works discussed above, seem to have been compiled to show the multiplicity of poetic roles that Yeats plays in the book. For instance, in the poems, A Poet to His Beloved” and, "When you are old” Yeats is seen as a lover. In Yeats’ work of 1931 titled, “The Remorse and Interpretation of Speech”, he comes out as a combative and unrelenting poet of the human conscience. His unrelenting nature is seen in the line, “I carried from my mother’s womb, a fanatic heart.” That Yeats explores the different sides of himself is a matter which is well underscored in this book which is a myriad of collections. The poems indeed, as already mentioned, are diverse in topic and nature. Some of the poems appear spiritualistic, occultist while others appear to be snobbish. Therefore, the book is not just an interesting read in this work on the account that it contains a collection of Yeats’ poetic works, but also because it depicts him as a man of many h...

The poem shows the relationship between nature and the poet, and how nature’s motion and beauty influences the poet’s feelings and behaviors for the good.
