Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Responsibilities, and other poems" by W. B. Yeats is a poetry collection published in 1916. This work marks a dramatic shift from Yeats's earlier dreamlike Celtic verse to poems confronting harsh modern realities. The collection addresses political controversies, personal attacks, Dublin's 1913 workers' strike, and cultural battles. Opening with the enigmatic line "In dreams begins responsibility," Yeats announces a new direction—one where romantic Ireland gives way to unflinching engagement with contemporary life's conflicts and tensions.
