초록
“Meditations in Time of War” is one of W. B. Yeats’s poems triggered by the Irish Civil War. It is not difficult to find a theme latent in the poem, i.e., inheritance, which reflects W. B. Yeats’s ethical sense of history about heritage. In this poem, Yeats himself plays a central role as an artist or poet in involving himself in history, say, in dealing with the past and the future. Besides, he views himself as both an inheritor and an inheritee of historical heritage. He is not only an inheritor of historical heritage but also expects to contribute to the heritage for the coming generations to inherit.
