The Two Trees by William Butler Yeats | Pause for Poetry Season 1, Episode 15
Manage episode 297907963 series 2933655
The two long stanzas in this poem represent The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden. The sumptuous imagery in this poem seem to celebrate creativity and life, and the clever parallels between the two stanzas heighten the links Yeats is making between the joys and fragility of life.
