Never Give All The Heart Analysis
Author: poem of William Butler Yeats Type: poem Views: 44
Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that's lovely is
But a brief, dreamy. Kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?
He that made this knows all the cost,
For he gave all his heart and lost.

I believe that he was kindly warning us to not totally become the beloved and leave oneself behind. to chase someone is not the way to have them fall in love with you, i would have deeply loved William Butler Yeats but had maude Gomme done just that, we would have not poetry and the world needs poetry. thankyou Mr. Yeats. You deserved to be loved deeply and to be cherished.

It's about Yeats' bitterness towards the female race. He has been scorned and the poem serves as a warning to all men to be warey of a tease, a woman that enjoys the chase and has no intention to be caught. "Never give the heart outright", instead do what these women do and take it with a pinch of salt. Even though the poem is about a woman I still feel that it is just as revelent to women as men, whether Yeats intended that is argueable. It is important that woman see how their actions affect those around them and focus clearly to ensure the men in their lives are taking it with the same level of seriousness or light heartedness as themselves. This is a cynical poem but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I think this poem recognises the power of the woman. It represents the male perception of female superiority in amorous love. Inequality or imbalance is magnified by mans insecurity, and the game empowers women. Male fantasy and female reality make men and women incompatible in love.

I think this poem is talking about the 'blind' nature of love on two levels. Outsiders are unable to understand and comprehend the feelings that two people in love have for each other because they are unique to that specific couple. But love can also be blind to those in love, whereby outsiders have a clearer perspective on what is going on because they are not emotionally attached. Emotions play a big part in love but not for those in it for the 'play' of the game. So i see that this poem is acting as a warning for those in 'love' to be careful with their heart and who they give it to. It also sounds like the writings of/or about someone who has been burnt by love or the 'game' and will always be wary of giving his whole heart.

Love is a game: before the lovers have confessed their love to each other, there is play about power, about trust; the tempting, the resisting, the teasing, the mutual gauging for worthiness. To a woman with passion this game fills them with confidence, and it may seem worth more to them than love itself. To give your heart at this stage means denying them the pleasure of the game, and they will turn from you. (mendel)

I think this poem may also suggest that if one person is more in love then their partner, and it is obvious, it is a turn off. Words like "Play" suggest a peception of love as a game. To me, this signifies that one must modify their feelings to suit whats being given back to them even if they feel more in love then they are showing. One must moderate their feelings or they will lose the person. It's very sad, but in many cases it is true.

I think that the poem refers to the fact that when one is young and foolish, they can be hasty and throw everything away. Young people need to learn to think while on their feet; if they don't, they'll lose everything- especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Love can be slippery and get away from you, if you let it get the better of you.
