summary of ' for Anne Gregory
Answers
Answer:
The poem 'For Anne Gregory', written by William butler Yeats, shows a disagreement between two people, most probably the poet and the girl on whom this poem is named.
The poem starts with the poet telling Anne Gregory that the young men who get lured by her golden hair shall only love her for her hair, not her inner self. At this remark, Anne tries to retaliate by saying that she could easily dye her golden hair into any other colour so that the young men in love with her shall only love her for her true self and not her hair. But, the poet then tells her that yesterday night, he had heard a holy man declare after reading some sacred text that only God, and no one else, loves a person for their inner self. Thus, only God can love Anne for herself and not her yellow hair.
