초록
This article takes two poems and a sequence by Heaney as offering different aspects of his response to Yeats. In “Casualty,” Heaney offers an implied rebuke to the heroic attitudes ostensibly lauded in Yeats's “Easter, 1916.” But he also takes as a more reliable ethical guide Yeats‘s “The Fisherman,” though developing its insights in a characteristically humane and grounded manner. In “The Harvest Bow” Heaney offers an ekphrastic poem, albeit one with deliberately humble associations. Among the many echoes evoked by this poem are those of “Sailing to Byzantium.” Finally, in Seeing Things, Heaney engages in a philosophical dialog with Yeats on the relationships between form, life and spirit. While taking Yeats's speculations seriously, Heaney is sure that life is to be understood from within, and not from the standpoint of a separate spiritual dimension.
Abstract
This article takes two poems and a sequence by Heaney as offering different aspects of his response to Yeats. In “Casualty,” Heaney offers an implied rebuke to the heroic attitudes ostensibly lauded in Yeats's “Easter, 1916.” But he also takes as a more reliable ethical guide Yeats‘s “The Fisherman,” though developing its insights in a characteristically humane and grounded manner. In “The Harvest Bow” Heaney offers an ekphrastic poem, albeit one with deliberately humble associations. Among the many echoes evoked by this poem are those of “Sailing to Byzantium.” Finally, in Seeing Things, Heaney engages in a philosophical dialog with Yeats on the relationships between form, life and spirit. While taking Yeats's speculations seriously, Heaney is sure that life is to be understood from within, and not from the standpoint of a separate spiritual dimension.
