Mood and atmosphere of Love's Pity, Broken Dreams and the SinnerLove's Pity is a short and relatively simple poem, but it still manages to create a feeling of anxiety, of desperate worry. Yeats achieves this in just eight lines of medium length through an extremely careful and precise use of language and structure. The poem begins with the line "A pity beyond description", immediately setting the general tone and fundamental point of the piece, elevating its despair to its highest levels and plunging the poem into the depths of depression and failure; before it had barely begun. , Yeats already admits defeat, in a way, claiming that this pity is so terrible that he is unable to describe it properly. The people buying and selling, the clouds on their journey above, the cold damp winds that always blow, and the shady hazel grove, where mouse-gray waters flow, these pastoral images are all part of an ordinary rural life, something Yeats always strived for. However, unlike his usual praise of these elements of life, this time he presents them in a distinctly pessimistic rhythm. way, emphasizing the negative aspects, and becoming darker and darker with each successive example - the wind is "cold" and "wet"; the clouds are assumed to be thunderclouds from the juxtaposition of the description of the wind right after the wind; description of clouds; the hazel grove is “shady” and the water is “mouse gray”. These are all very washed out, colorless and cold adjectives that reflect the depressive nature of the narrator. The image of somewhat frenetic movement conveyed by the use of the words "buy and sell", "travel above", "still blow" and "pay" represent the...inner middle of the paper. ....anza helps contribute to the feeling of the unexpected, and the constant shift in focus gives an almost "stream of consciousness" feel to the proceedings. As the title indicates, this is a dark poem, due to its subject matter, but it is not a bitter poem; in fact, in places it is very romantic, particularly the third stanza: The certainty that I shall see this lady Bending, standing or walking In the first beauty of womanhood And with the fervor of my youthful eyes Made me mutter like a fool It is as if Yeats had finally accepted Gonne's rejection and was no longer tormented by it. He is much more peaceful when writing Broken Dreams than with his other poems by Maud Gonne. Although he still finds her life naturally sad, he no longer expects her to change her mind and, therefore, he does not write a poem of depressing bitterness..
