Yeats who, if he cannot be placed, as Mr. Rolleston in the 'Treasury of Irish Poetry' would place him, 'first among living writers in the English language, ' is at least among the first of living poets draws his inspira- tion wholly from the past, whether from the store of Celtic myth recorded in Celtic writings or from the wonderful medley of folk-story and fairy- lore still current among the people. He has gone to the heroic cycle in the Wanderings of Oisin, the long poem which gave a name to... his first public volume; he returned to it the other day in the prose tragedy of Dairmuid and Crania. ... In two other of his longer works, Mr. Yeats has turned rather to the vague popular tradition of strange creatures of earth and air. The Land of Heart's Desire puts into a dramatic idyll of rare beauty the story so common in Irish folk-lore, of a human bride stolen by the fairies. In The Countess Cath- leen the powers of human goodness, working under the will of God, are ranged against the greater and the lesser spirits of evil.
