The Cutting Of An Agate

This vintage book contains Y. B. Yeats's 1912 collection of essays, "The Cutting of an Agate". The essays of this collection include: "Thoughts on Lady Gregory's Translations", "Cuchulain and his Cycle", "Fion and his Cycle", "Preface to the First Edition of the Well of the Saints", "Discoveries", "Prophet, Priest, and King", "Personality and the Intellectual Essences", "The Musician and the Orator", "A Guitar Player", and more. William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939) was an Irish poet and one of the most important and influential literary figures during the twentieth century. A key figure in the Irish and British literary worlds, Yeats also served as an Irish Senator for two terms. He was an important force in the Irish Literary Revival, and co-founded the famous Abbey Theatre. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
