Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"In The Seven Woods: Being Poems Chiefly of the Irish Heroic Age" by W. B. Yeats is a poetry collection published in 1903. This volume marks Yeats's shift from Romantic ideals and pre-Raphaelite imagery toward a spare, anti-romantic style. Drawing on Irish heroic legends, the collection includes poems inspired by walks through the Seven Woods before a great wind transformed the landscape. The volume also features "Adam's Curse," which became its most popular and frequently anthologized piece, and concludes with the play "On Baile's Strand."
