Hi,

I'm currently working on death as a topic in Yeats's poetry. At the moment I'm quite at the beginning, have started working my way through his Collected poems but can't really get hold of "his view on death". I guess, it would be a bit to easy, if it would work like that. But perhaps you know what he thought of death and life (ressurection, eternal life, neverending emptiness) or you want to discuss some of his poems that deal with that topic.

He sees death as a cycle. Simbol is the gyre.;)
