Analysis and comments on The Meditation Of The Old Fisherman by William Butler Yeats

Comment 1 of 1, added on July 18th, 2006 at 7:13 PM.

a nice poem to read out loud, especially near a fishing village. The repetition works, chant-like. Transports the reader into the mind-set of the aging fishman. His thought are not of squalls, rough waters...but of the charms of fisherman's life.
