"Reveries over Childhood and Youth" by W. B. Yeats is a reflective memoir written in the early 20th century. The work delves into Yeats's childhood and youth, exploring his formative experiences, memories, and the emotional world that shaped him. This autobiographical account offers insights into significant relationships, particularly with his grandparents, and how these dynamics influenced his understanding of life and art. The opening of the memoir sets the tone for Yeats's exploration of his early memories, which are presented as fragmented and emotional recollections rather than a linear narrative. He reflects on moments of joy and sorrow, detailing vivid memories such as observing childhood scenes through windows, playing with relatives, and the profound impact of his grandfather's stoic presence. Yeats describes both the beauty and the pain of childhood, capturing his feelings of awe towards nature and his complex emotions surrounding love, loss, and innocence. As he weaves these memories together, he hints at the profound influence this period had on his later artistic expressions and philosophical musings.
