The lady's hair is compared to ramparts or wide walls around a castle.
Explanation:
- This extract is taken from the poem Anne Gregory, by William Butler Yeats. This poem of W.B. Yeats has been addressed to a young and beautiful lady, named Anne Gregory. The young woman has an irresistible outward appeal. Her honey-colored blonde hair that fall on her ear attracts the spectators quickly. The hair that falls on the ears looks like a rampart or wide walls around a castle. It is hard to tell however why a young man is thrown in despair and begins to love the women for her external beauty only. ' Her external beauty is so perfectly stunning that the lover doesn't even bother to know if the young lady has inner beauty and have a nobility soul.
- Anne Gregory replies that she can get a hair-color of any kind. It's up to her to color her hair brown or black or carrot. The illusion of physical beauty is exploded. She wonders why a young man should only fall in love and sigh despair after seeing the hair's color? If any young man expresses his love for it, it ought to be based upon its merits. She must be loved not because of her external appearance, but because of what her inner beauty or personality is. Her character, attitude and inner beauty will attract people, not its yellow hair.
- In the third stanza, the poet settles the conflict. To prove his point, the poet quotes a religious text. He says men are men. People are easily drawn by physical attractions. The elegance of Anne Gregory's blonde hair is quite likely for a young man to attract him. Only God can endure physical tentations externally. Only by what he or she or his or her merit God may judge a man or a woman. People can not look past outward appearances and physical beauty, without the power of God.
