| Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco artist interpretation of The Coat |
I made my song a coat
covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat; but the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world's eyes
As though they'd wrought it.
Song, let them take it,
For there's more enterprise
In walking naked.
Every poem has layers and layers of meaning.
The reader is the one who
Takes it and decides on the writer's intent.
What does The Coat say to you? What is its interpretation?
W. B. Yeats was fortunate to be born to some degree of wealth from his mother, and world of art, music, and poetry from his father John Butler Yeats. Surrounded by such AND not having to worry about supporting himself, W.B. Yeats had freedom to develop his poetry.
His poetry reflects and captures the times and changes of Ireland.
