Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Tower" by W. B. Yeats is a poetry collection published in 1928. This influential volume, Yeats's first major work after winning the Nobel Prize, takes its name from Ballylee Castle, a Norman tower the poet purchased and restored. The collection explores themes of physical limitation and spiritual transcendence as Yeats seeks to move beyond the conflicts between mind and body, reality and vision. It includes some of his most celebrated poems, such as "Sailing to Byzantium," "Leda and the Swan," and "Among School Children."
