Seven Poems and a Fragment

A haunting chorus of midnight thoughts opens this collection, where the toll of church bells and the clink of muscatel glasses summon ghosts and lingering memories. The poems weave together myth, personal reflection, and a restless curiosity about love, death, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. Their language is dense yet lyrical, inviting listeners to linger on each image—whether a centaur’s hooves on a black margin or a phantom’s fine‑tuned palate.

Throughout the verses, Yeats explores the tension between the tangible and the ethereal, drawing on classical references, Indian philosophy, and his own encounters with friends and strangers. The work balances melancholy with a sly, almost conspiratorial humor, urging the ear to hear both the laughter and the weeping hidden in the cadence. Listeners will find a rich tapestry of ideas that feel both timeless and startlingly modern, making the experience a thoughtful meditation on the mysteries that linger just beyond ordinary perception.
