Flamman och Skuggan

ALASTOR PRESS 

Flame and Shadow contains many of Yeats's most spellbinding and condensed stories, captured in a visionary language rooted in the Irish storytelling tradition. The stories oscillate between dark depictions of the impending apocalypse and dreamlike tales that flow from the heart of Celtic folklore.
“True art is the flames of the last day, which for every man begins when he is first touched by beauty, and the flames will burn all things until they are infinite and holy.” – W B Yeats

Flame and Shadow is a rich selection of Yeats's prose, where the preface, chronology and extensive musical notation illustrate how the foundations of Yeats's world of thought emerge.
