초록
The paper examines the impact of Indian philosophy and literature on Yeats and his poetry surveying his interactions and involvement with the Indian men. Yeats’s interest in Indian philosophical thoughts can well be understood by looking at his strong relations with three Indians, Mohini Chatterjee, Shri Purohit Swami, and Rabindranath Tagore, whose contributions in the shaping of his self are well documented by Yeats himself in many of his writings including his Autobiographies. Yeats’s A Vision very clearly shows his reception of Indic mysticism under the influence of Indian theosophist Mohini Chatterjee, recounting how he first met him and Indian philosophy in his Autobiographies. Yeats notes in his introduction to Gitanjali that Rabindranath Tagore’s prose translations of Bengali poems stirred his blood as nothing did for years. Yeats’s poems, such as “Anashuya and Vijaya,” “The Indian Upon God,” “The Indian to his Love,” “Meru” demonstrate an influence of Indic knowledge system, and there is also a strong undercurrent of Indian philosophy in much of his prose work.
Abstract
