The Green Helmet and Other Poems

'The Green Helmet and Other Poems' is written by the acclaimed wordsmith, William Butler Yeats. Within this beautifully penned collection, Yeats unveils a tapestry of emotions, dreams, and profound insights woven through the delicate threads of his poetic craftsmanship. The following is an excerpt from one of the poems presented in the collection, entitled 'His Dream': "I swayed upon the gaudy stern / The butt end of a steering oar / And everywhere that I could turn / Men ran upon the shore."
