Summary "The Trembling of the Veil" by W. B. Yeats is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the formative years of Yeats' life, capturing his experiences, relationships, and intellectual environment during the late 19th century, particularly his interactions with notable figures in the artistic and literary movements of the time. Through a vivid portrayal of his youth, the author reflects upon themes of art, identity, and the nature of genius, focusing on the artists, writers, and thinkers who influenced him. At the start of "The Trembling of the Veil," Yeats recollects his family's relocation to Bedford Park and his journey of self-discovery amidst the artistic community of London. He describes his childhood, his admiration for Pre-Raphaelite art, and the various personalities he encountered, such as W. E. Henley and Oscar Wilde. These relationships and their discussions significantly shaped his thoughts on artistic expression and culture. Yeats expresses his frustrations with emerging trends in art that he felt lacked depth and tradition, underscoring the tensions between past and present as he navigates his own burgeoning identity as a poet and thinker. This opening portion sets a reflective and introspective tone, inviting readers into the emotional landscape that defined Yeats' early creative life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
