예이츠 시, 특히 “아마도 음악에 부치는 시”에 나타나는 시적 광기와 시 적 무기력증을 대비해본다. 생리적 죽음과 같은 휴지부와 자아발견의 희열감을 torpor 와 fornit 개념으로 정리한다

Yeats as a visionary poet displays the basic Kabalistic creative mind or the instinctual Zen self-reawakening insight; ignorant but wise, barbarian but civilized, beastly but non-intellectually spiritual, rough but pure, which can be compared with the mysterious power of the humming bird who experiences two conflicting states of torpor and freedom. To find his poetic “fornits” (mystic elves) or poetic expediency or visionary reality that enables him to get over such poetic blocks, I meditate on his poems in Words for Music Perhaps, so called Jane’s series (poems of madness), and “An Image for a Past Life.” I theoretically delve into his four epistemological categories to holistically understand his poetics.
