""The Wanderings of Oisin"" is a long narrative poem written by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats. It tells the story of Oisin, a legendary Irish hero who, after spending 300 years in the land of the fairy queen, returns to Ireland to find that everything he knew and loved has changed. The poem is filled with vivid descriptions of the Irish landscape, ancient myths and legends, and the clash between the pagan and Christian worlds. Oisin's journey is a metaphor for Yeats' own search for spiritual and artistic fulfillment, and the poem is considered a masterpiece of Irish literature. It was first published in 1889 and has since become a beloved classic.NOW, man of croziers, shadows called our names And then away, away, like whirling flames; And now fled by, mist-covered, without sound, The youth and lady and the deer and hound; ""Gaze no more on the phantoms, ' Niamh said, And kissed my eyes, and, swaying her bright head And her bright body, sang of faery and man.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
