Have you tried googling "Meaning of the poem 'Dialogue of Self and Soul'?
DeleteIt's interesting, but something that i'll have to look over a few more times to truly analyze it.
ReplyDeleteTo me the message is that your self is what takes the all the things that life throws at you but your soul is the one who can fix the bad thoughts that come to you and can distinguish darkness from you self and take it away.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the first stanza at all. It's very confusing. Yeats uses the second stanza to imply that we all suffer from many indignities and that no matter how miserable our life has been, we must follow it to its source, "measure the lot", and forgive ourselves for it, and then only will we become blest.
ReplyDeleteI am still confused on what the first stanza is trying to tell us. What I got out of the second stanza is that talks about growing up and how men are blind to truth.
