Reveries over Childhood and Youth

Reveries over Childhood and Youth by W. B. Yeats is Yeats's autobiography. It includes poetic descriptions from and about one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century. Excerpt: “My first memories are fragmentary and isolated and contemporaneous, as though one remembered vaguely some early day of the Seven Days. It seems as if time had not yet been created, for all are connected with emotion and place and without sequence.”
