The Lake Isle of Innisfree (Poem) compared with Walden Pond

from Frontier Road - short stories. · host ContemplateBooks.com

It was said in 1896 about this poem that it "reaches the ear and holds it, and through it touches the heart. About the author Yeats it was said: "There is no younger poet of our time in whose future fame one may feel a stronger faith." The poet found inspiration in Thoreau’s life, particularly his solitary experience at Walden Pond. Just imagining that isolation helped the poet escape his homesickness and transported him to a more comforting and pleasant state of mind.
