Poems of W.B. Yeats: The Rose Themes
1. Introduction
As is known to all, Yeats’s poetic thinking is a complexity out of a variety of
influences and out of his own originality. Therefore, this study of the Yeatsian poetic thinking would focus on a few distinguished aspects，in order to make them coherently
interrelated, I employ the metaphorical meanings of the rose, a key Yeatsian symbol, to represent those chosen aspects.
2. Analysis of the Rose Themes
Though a young poet at the time of the composition of The rose ,Yeats is quite preoccupied with themes of aging and mortality. Imagining his old age served as an escape for the young Yeats, who found himself unsuccessful in love and imagined that later in life he would either have won his beloved or his beloved would have come to regret her rejection of him. "In Old Age" is particularly marked by the image of an older Maud Gonne (the woman with whom Yeats was in love) becoming wiser in old age
Yeats also had an anxiety about death which was unusual in someone so young. He contemplated death less in terms of himself than in terms of his loved ones. When Maud Gonne travel to France as a convalescent, a worried Yeats wrote "A Dream of Death." This meditation on Gonne's possible death is less of a nightmare than a dream comes true, as Yeats envisions himself being useful to her in death as he could not be in life. Yeats, therefore, views both aging and death as more or less positive forces.
The Rose id rife with mythological references ,from King Fergus to Conchubar to Diarmuid. Indeed, such mythic Irish figures populate nearly every poem in the collection.[1]
Mythology operates as a theme in this collection in a number of ways.First and foremost it separates Yeats' poetry from British writing. British writers drew on Roman and Greek mythology - the mythology, in fact, of other (albeit ancient) imperialists. In choosing Irish mythology as his source of allusions and subjects,Yeats creates poetry distinct from that of Ireland’s long time oppressors.
Moreover,Yeats’ use of Irish mythological subjects allows him to avoid the political.his own day. Yeats, a moderate compared to his beloved Maud Gonne, found his political beliefs to be a burden in his pursuit of love. In treating legendary figures, Yeats avoids the problem of referencing the complicated political environment that so tormented
Nationalism in Ireland in the 1890s was in a complicated stage.Many die-hard Fenians (Republicans), including Maud Gonne, were more than willing to take arms against the British to gain their independence. Another group, including Yeats, took the more cautious parliamentary approach. This political party, called the Home Rule Party, was led by John Red and held that Ireland could gain independence through legal means.[2]
Because this collection focuses so much on Maud Gonne,Yeats inevitably touches upon his political differences with his beloved. These differences, needless to say, affected their relationship negatively. Yeats feared that Gonne was more repulsed by his moderate politics than by his person.
Thus,in some poems ,such as “To Ireland in the Coming Times”Yeats seems to be willfully disassociating himself from the complex political fabric of his own era, instead hearkening to a simpler politics of ancient kings. Undoubtedly Yeats was drawn to these ancient mythic times anyway, but his interest takes on a sadness in the context of his relationship with the politics of his own day (and thus of his relationship with Gonne). Nationalist politics exist negatively in these poems, as the subject that Yeats doesn't want to address.
3. Conclusion
By making use of the metaphorical meanings of the rose,this thesis is a study of several chosen aspects of Yeats’s poetic thinking.Love drastically influenced Yeast’s writing, acting as his source that contributed considerably to the development of his symbolism
Yeats’s mysticism gave the philosophical quality to his poetry.Therefore，this study of Yeats’s poetic thinking might be useful to the Yeatsian scholarship.It is hoped that the thesis would be helpful to readers who seek for a be helpful to readers who seek for a better understanding of Yeats and his times.

论叶芝诗：玫瑰主题
1。景区简介
众所周知，叶芝的诗学思想是一个复杂的各种各样的
影响和走出自己的独创性。因此，本研究将重点Yeatsian诗性思维的几个不同方面，为了使其连贯
相关的，我用玫瑰的隐喻意义，关键Yeatsian的象征，代表那些选择方面。
2。玫瑰主题分析
虽然一个年轻的诗人在玫瑰的组成，叶芝是相当全神贯注的主题老化和死亡率。想象他的晚年对于年轻的叶芝来说是一种逃避，他发现自己在爱情上失败了，他认为在以后的生活中，他要么赢得了心爱的人，要么会得到心爱的人。在旧时代”是特别明显的老年茅德·冈的形象（叶芝与他在爱的女人）成为明智的老
叶芝也对死亡感到焦虑，这在一个如此年轻的人中是不寻常的.。他考虑自己的死亡比他所爱的人少.。当茅德·冈去法国疗养，担心的叶芝写道：“死亡的一个梦。“这冥想冈可能死亡比梦想成真的噩梦，叶芝认为自己对于她的死亡他不能在生活中。因此，叶芝把衰老和死亡看作是或多或少的积极力量.。
玫瑰的身份充满神话的引用，从King Fergus到康楚巴去吧。事实上，这样的神话人物在爱尔兰集合中的几乎每一首诗。[ 1 ]
神话在这部作品中以多种方式作为主题，首先将叶芝的诗歌与英国的写作分开。英国作家借鉴了古希腊罗马神话-神话，事实上，其他的（尽管古）帝国主义。在选择爱尔兰神话作为他的典故和题材来源，叶芝创造了诗歌不同于爱尔兰的长时间的压迫者。
此外，叶芝利用爱尔兰神话题材让他避免political.his自己的一天。叶芝，一个温和的与他心爱的茅德·冈，发现自己的政治信仰是他追求爱的负担。治疗的传奇人物，叶芝避免了复杂的政治环境，所以引用的问题折磨
在上世纪90年代的爱尔兰民族主义是一个复杂的阶段。很多铁杆芬尼亚（共和党人），包括茅德·冈，都更愿意拿起武器反抗英国获得独立。另一组，包括叶芝，采取了更加谨慎的议会方法。这个政党，被称为执政党，由John Red领导，并认为爱尔兰可以通过法律手段获得独立。[ 2 ]
因为这一集集中这么多的茅德·冈，叶芝不可避免地触及到他与他心爱的政治分歧。这些差异，不用说，负面影响了他们的关系。叶芝担心，以后更被他温和的政治而不是他的人。
因此，在一些诗，如“未来时代”叶芝似乎故意摘掉自己从他的时代到爱尔兰复杂的政治结构，而不是一个简单的政治听从古代君王。叶芝无疑是对这些古代神话时代还是画，但他的兴趣在他与自己时代的政治关系背景下的悲伤（因此他与冈）。民族主义政治存在消极的这些诗，作为主题，叶芝不想解决。
三.结论
本文运用玫瑰的隐喻意义，对叶芝诗学思想的几个选择方面进行了研究，爱深深地影响了他的创作，作为他的创作源泉，为他的象征主义的发展做出了巨大贡献.
叶芝的神秘主义给哲学素养的诗歌。因此，研究叶芝的诗性思维可能导致Yeatsian奖学金有用。希望本文有助于读者寻求有助于读者寻求更好地理解叶芝和他的时代。
