read this excerpt from "the lake isle of innisfree" by w. b. yeats. from which two aspects of modern life does the speaker likely wish to free
himself?
i will arise and go now, and go to innisfree,
and a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
nine bean rows will have there, a hive for the honey bee,
and live alone in the bee-loud glade.
and i shall have some peace there for peace comes dropping slow,
dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings:
there midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
and evening full of the linnet's wings.
i will arise and go now, for always night and day
i hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
while i stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
i hear it in the deep heart's core.
the absence of purpose
materialism
the lack of religion
turmoil
