Per Amica Silentia Lunae   By: (1865-1939)

Book cover

Per Amica Silentia Lunae is a collection of poetry by the renowned Irish poet, William Butler Yeats. The book showcases Yeats' mastery of language and his ability to capture the essence of human emotions. Each poem is a carefully crafted piece of art that takes the reader on a journey through various themes like love, nature, and the passage of time.

The collection opens with a series of poems on love, showcasing Yeats' deep understanding of the complexities of human relationships. He explores themes of longing, desire, and the fragility of the human heart. The poems are rich in imagery, and Yeats' use of metaphors adds a sense of depth and intensity to the emotions expressed.

One of the most striking aspects of Yeats' poetry is his connection with nature. From the tranquil moonlit nights to the wild landscapes of Ireland, nature is a constant presence throughout the collection. Yeats' ability to depict the beauty and power of the natural world is truly captivating, and it infuses his poetry with a sense of the mystical.

Another theme that runs through the book is the passage of time and the inevitable aging of the human soul. Yeats reflects on his own mortality and the transient nature of life, which adds a bittersweet tone to many of the poems. This contemplation of the mysteries of life and death gives the collection a philosophical depth that resonates with the reader long after the book is closed.

Yeats' use of language is masterful, with each word carefully chosen to create a vivid and evocative imagery. The poems flow seamlessly, and the rhythm and meter make them a pleasure to read aloud. It is clear that Yeats has honed his craft over years of writing, and the result is a collection that showcases his skill and artistry.

In conclusion, Per Amica Silentia Lunae is a remarkable collection of poetry that showcases William Butler Yeats' talent and depth as a poet. The themes explored in the book are timeless and relatable, and the use of language is exquisite. It is a book that both poetry enthusiasts and newcomers to Yeats' work will appreciate. The collection captures the essence of what it means to be human, with all its joys, sorrows, and mysteries.
