Remorse For Intemperate Speech Analysis

Author: poem of William Butler Yeats Type: poem Views: 24

I ranted to the knave and fool,
But outgrew that school,
Would transform the part,
Fit audience found, but cannot rule
My fanatic heart.

I sought my betters: though in each
Fine manners, liberal speech,
Turn hatred into sport,
Nothing said or done can reach
My fanatic heart.

Out of Ireland have we come.
Great hatred, little room,
Maimed us at the start.
I carry from my mother's womb
A fanatic heart.

.: :.

I would say this poem is rather a lament on the anger and hatred that the Irish, Yeats among them, cannot ever really let go of- an inheritance of injustice and righteous resistance carried on so long that it continues to tear at those subsequent generations unable to set it aside and make peace with themselves or with their past.
In this poem the uncontrollable anger and fanaticism is damning more so even than the English oppression- something the Irish cannot seem to escape even after Liberation.

This poem is a genuine lament about the alienation of the Irish people that begins in the pram.
