Yeats wrote “The Wanderings of Oisin” with devotion. He spent a lot of time on the poem. It is about the Irish literary revival and is with a lot of Irish elements. In here he wanted to deal with fundamental human conditions, connecting Irish myths with the present. For he believed that human nature remains the same, unaffected by the passage of time. “The Wanderings of Oisin” is deeply involved with symbolic and Pre-Raphaelite elements. Particularly, the early Pre-Raphaelite Yeats applied the various aspects of Pre-Raphaelitism to this work, in which human emotions are fitly imbued with the mood of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. The allusion of light and darkness represented in Pre- Raphaelite paintings has the poetic implication. Eventually, Yeats strove to connect the mood of “The Wanderings of Oisin” with Pre-Raphaelite characters. Such an attempt of his seems to be very successful, making a new, vital poem.
