Answer:
Yes, the poem, 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' celebrates the theme of escapism.
Explanation:
The poet, William Butler Yeats wants to escape the husky-busky, populated, polluted, noisy and busy city life for sometime to seek peace and tranquility in Innisfree.
He wants to put his mind at rest and enjoy the beautiful creations by mother nature. Innisfree is not just a place, it's a state of mind. It's a tranquil & untroubled place that can easily put someone's mind at peace.
The scene at the dawn, dusk and midnight is a feast to the viewer's eyes: the serene sounds of the linnet's wings, the honeybees' continuous buzzing, the lapping of the lake's water on the shore and the purple glow at noon is something worth manifesting.
