[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. Love poetry is inspired by an onslaught of emotion that is often difficult to contain, which is why love poems are also some of the most symbolically rich of all literary prose. Indeed, the extent to which love poetry strives to unleash the bubbling emotion of its author is both grand and far-reaching; that William Yeats's reputation for reaching these grand heights makes him one of the most renown in his genre speaks to the measure of symbolic mastery readily generated by this particular poet.
