Description
This was Yeats's first collection of poems in six years. The handsome gilt spine of the binding reflects Yeats's status by this time as one of the most esteemed English-language poets of his day. Many of the poems and the play Shadowy Waters contained in this volume were written or conceived during Yeats's annual summer sojourns at Lady Gregory's Galway estate, Coole Park, making the inscription to her particularly meaningful.
