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. I take up the Zen meditational Way of hermeneutical insights.
