Visual and verbal symbolism in Greek tragedy it would be a mistake to consider the visual dimension in isolation. What I want to suggest in this article is that it is especially the interplay between the two dimensions, between the verbal and the visual, between language and performance, that gives much scope for symbolism in Greek tragedy. Symbolism in Yeats' poetry All symbolists tend to support the idea of a connection between the idea of first , consciousness and the outer world and second , nature and the spiritual world . IN this context yeats greatly admired Charles Baudelaire and regarded him as a pivotal figure for the style THE SCIENCE OF SYMBOLISM The world is Two Worlds, spiritual and material, or, if you will, a World Sensual and a World Intelligential; or again, if you will, a World Supernal and a World Inferior. All these expressions are near each other, and the difference between them is merely one of viewpoint. Symbolism of popular culture.

NO, I AM NOT AS OTHERS ARE O, I am not, as others are, Child of the angels, with a wreath Of planets or of any star. My father's dead, and lies beneath The churchyard stone: God rest his breath! I know that my poor old mother (And she too knows) must come to death, And that her son must follow her. I know that rich and poor and all, Foolish and wise, and priest and lay, Mean folk and noble, great and small, High and low, fair and foul, and they That wore rich clothing on the way, Being of whatever stock or stem, And are coiffed newly every day, Death shall take every one of them. Paris and Helen are both dead. Whoever dies, dies with much pain; For when his wind and breath are sped His gall breaks on his heart, and then He sweats, God knows that sweat of men! Then shall he pray against his doom Child, brother, sister, all in vain: None will be surety in his room. Death makes him tremble and turn pale, His veins stretch and his nose fall in, His flesh grow moist and his neck swell, Joints and nerves lengthen and wax thin; Body of woman, that hath been

Career Poetry Drama Influences ... Acknowledgements INFLUENCES Reading Because of his devotion to his art it is probably true to say of Yeats that from his childhood on he chose to read only those who moved him to an emotional or poetical response. He sought the response in his literary and philosophical studies which were extensive - Theosophy and occult works; Plato and the Neoplantonists; St. Thomas Aquinas; the Kabbalah; Irish Myths and Legends; Dante, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Donne, Castiglione, Vico, Swift, Berkeley, Burke, Blake, Shelly, Kant, Nietzche, Ferguson, Mangan, Standish O'Grady. John Butler Yeats, 1839-1922 Jack Butler Yeats, 1887-1957 Six years younger than the poet, he also spent his childhood in Sligo. Sligo, with its ships, fairs, races and circuses and the variety of men and women associated with them, was an inspiration for Jack's drawing from 1887 until he started his career as an art student in London. "In half of the pictures he paints today I recognise faces that I have met at Rosses or the Sligo quays', wrote the poet. The wild faces of horsemen, the quiet dignity of tinkers and wanderers, set against tumultuous skies which flash and dance with colour, are transformed in Jack's imagination; and that, after all, is what W.B. achieved in poetry often having that very subject matter.
