The Celtic Twilight' written W.B.

But there is a deeper significance to this book. It can be seen as Yeats' subtle polemic against too concrete a view of human existence, as his call for a return to a more magical view of life and Nature: where the Unseen is nearer than we believe, where springs are holy, trees have souls, and the very air shimmers with spirituality.

A wonderful book, well worth the reading, especially if you've ever had a nudge from a puc or spirit from the world beyond the Scientific view. It speaks of a different time, a time before the Romans and then the Christians eradicated the Druids and their magical world. Awesome, well worth suspending disbelief for an evening.
