summary of the poem the lake Isle of innisfree
Answers
Answer:
Yeats makes a decision at the beginning of this poem. He says, 'I will arise and go now.' He has decided to make the break from modern society and all of the hectic madness it can bring and go to a place he loves, Innisfree.
Yeats then describes Innisfree. He decides to build a cabin of clay and 'wattles' to live in. Wattles are strong sticks that interweave to form a structure. He imagines his garden with exactly nine rows for growing beans, and he wants to have a beehive for honey. He then will live by himself in the 'bee-loud glade.' Here Yeats wonderfully expresses that all he will hear is the loud drone of bees, not the drone of civilization.
The next line is really the crux of what Yeats longs for in Innisfree - peace. By saying that 'peace comes dropping slow,' Yeats continues to let us know that from the time the morning dawns until evening when the 'cricket sings,' there is a gradual pacing of the day until evening falls. There is no stress, no noise. All is an expression of peace.
