초록
The paper provides both an overview and selected close readings of Yeats’s practice in respect of the poetic refrain. Oral poetry first established the refrain as a device for recapitulation, reinforcement, and structural linking. Yeats used this device from oral traditions throughout his career, making its seeming repetition a formal means for powerful enhancement of a poem’s motif and thematic drive. He made extensive use of the refrain during the early stages of his career, and in the final years of his life. In a contemporary world where poets are habitually addicted to free verse, the example of Yeats offers a salutary lesson from the long past of poetry. The detailed analysis of poems such as “Long-Legged Fly” demonstrates the nuanced and powerful signification Yeats is able to accomplish through the use of the refrain.
Abstract
The paper provides both an overview and selected close readings of Yeats’s practice in respect of the poetic refrain. Oral poetry first established the refrain as a device for recapitulation, reinforcement, and structural linking. Yeats used this device from oral traditions throughout his career, making its seeming repetition a formal means for powerful enhancement of a poem’s motif and thematic drive. He made extensive use of the refrain during the early stages of his career, and in the final years of his life. In a contemporary world where poets are habitually addicted to free verse, the example of Yeats offers a salutary lesson from the long past of poetry. The detailed analysis of poems such as “Long-Legged Fly” demonstrates the nuanced and powerful signification Yeats is able to accomplish through the use of the refrain.
