THE DITCH AND THE TOWER

on Network Three

† LAURENCE KITCHIN on Yeatf
Mr. Kitchin argues that the enduring relevance of Yeats's poetry depends on his reconciliation of the grossness of experience with the glamour of art. He sees Yeats as both entertainer and realist, aware of life as a ' blind man's ditch ' and at the same time preoccupied with its splendour and mystery as symbolised by the tower, in particular, the tower he lived in himself in Ballylee.
