(Contains verbal echoes of great statements on the nature ...)
Contains verbal echoes of great statements on the nature of love from Plato, St. Paul, and Shakespeare, and also echoes passages from Blake, Lucretius (in Dryden's translation), Milton, and Swedenborg. Visual echoes include Blake's designs for Blair's The Grave and his Dante illustrations. Clark analyzes the manuscripts to recapture the way Yeats fused the poem's elements into resonant poetry.
