  • "The Wanderings of Oisin"
    W. B. Yeats William Butler Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. Working together with Lady Gregory and John M. Synge, he was the director of Ireland's National Theatre Society, better known as the Abbey Theatre company. His first rather patriotic plays T h e "The Wanderings of Oisin" Countess Cathleen (1892) and Cathleen ní Houlihan (1902) were mainly written during the time of his long liaison with Maud Gonne who strengthened his enthusiasm for Irish It was W. B. Yeats who in his work drew heavily on old Irish historical and folk materials and thus contributed n a t i o n a l i s m . notably to what came to be called the Celtic Revival. "The Wanderings of Oisin" is a mystical narrative poem about Oisin, the poet of the Celtic Fionn cycle who spends 300 years in the pre-Christian Otherworld. After returning from the Otherworld he has a passionate conversation with St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, in which he is full of praise for the pagan values he has experienced there. – W.

  • The Allegory of Yeats's "The Wanderings of Oisin"
    Colby Quarterly Volume 15 Issue 2 June Article 7 June 1979 The Allegory of Yeats's "The Wanderings of Oisin" Michael J. Sidnell Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cq Recommended Citation Colby Library Quarterly, Volume 15, no.2, June 1979, pg.137-151 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Digital Commons @ Colby. It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Sidnell: The Allegory of Yeats's "The Wanderings of Oisin" The Allegory of Yeats's "The Wanderings of Oisin" by MICHAEL J. SIDNELL N THE 1899 edition of Poems, Yeats moved "The Wanderings of I Oisin" from the front of the book to the back. 1 Reviewers, he thought, concentrated on the poem merely because it came first, neglecting the rest. 2 The effect of this transposition probably exceeded its aim since critics henceforward tended to treat Yeats's longest poem as an appendix to the Collected Poems. Since the appearance over thirty years ago of Alspach's study of some of the sources of the poem 3 there has been no extended examination of any aspect of "Oisin"; and this despite what seems to be a general re­ newal of interest in Yeats's early work. A monograph on Yeats's devel­ opment up to 1900 offers us the assurance that "Alspach's record of direct borrowings does not substantiate a charge of plagiarism," 4 a bizarre comment which has the virtue of getting us nowhere, by contrast with some psychoanalytical comments on some details of the poem which take ·us altogether too far.

  • Robert Graves the White Goddess
    ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters.

  • 1 FIONN in HELL an Anonymous Early Sixteenth-Century Poem In
    1 FIONN IN HELL An anonymous early sixteenth-century poem in Scots describes Fionn mac Cumhaill as having ‘dang þe devill and gart him ʒowle’ (‘struck the Devil and made him yowl’) (Fisher 1999: 36). The poem is known as ‘The Crying of Ane Play.’ Scots literature of the late medieval and early modern period often shows a garbled knowledge of Highland culture; commonly portraying Gaels and their language and traditions negatively. Martin MacGregor notes that Lowland satire of Highlanders can, ‘presuppose some degree of understanding of the language, and of attendant cultural and social practices’ (MacGregor 2007: 32). Indeed Fionn and his band of warriors, 1 collectively Na Fiantaichean or An Fhèinn0F in modern Scottish Gaelic, are mentioned a number of times in Lowland literature of the period (MacKillop 1986: 72-74). This article seeks to investigate the fate of Fionn’s soul in late medieval and early modern Gaelic literature, both Irish and Scottish. This is done only in part to consider if the yowling Devil and his encounter with Fionn from the ‘The Crying of Ane Play’ might represent something recognizable from contemporaneous Gaelic literature. Our yowling Devil acts here as something of a prompt for an investigation of Fionn’s potential salvation or damnation in a number of sixteenth-century, and earlier, Gaelic ballads. The monumental late twelfth- or early thirteenth-century (Dooley 2004) text Acallam na 2 Senórach (‘The Colloquy of the Ancients’) will also be considered here.1F Firstly, the Scots poem must be briefly investigated in order to determine its understanding of Gaelic conventions.
