The Tower is a book of poems by W. B. Yeats, published in 1928. The Tower was Yeats's first major collection as Nobel Laureate after receiving the Nobel Prize in 1923. It is considered to be one of the poet's most influential volumes and was well received by the public.^[1]

The title, which the book shares with the second poem, refers to Ballylee Castle, a Norman tower which Yeats purchased and restored in 1917.^[2] Yeats Gaelicized the name to Thoor Ballyllee,^[3] and it has retained the title to this day. Yeats often summered at Thoor Ballylee with his family until 1928.^[4]

The book includes several of Yeats' most famous poems, including 'Sailing to Byzantium,' 'Leda and the Swan,' and 'Among School Children.'

Previous Publication of Select Poems[edit]

All of the poems included in The Tower had previously appeared elsewhere in print collections and periodicals. Guild wars 2 skyscale. Many of the poems featured in Seven Poems and a Fragment, The Cat and the Moon and Certain Poems, and October Blast released by Cuala Press.^[5] Other poems had been collected in A Vision.^[6]

Cover design[edit]

Yeats commissioned Thomas Sturge Moore to create the cover for the volume in 1927. The gold wood-cut style image depicts Thoor Ballylee and its reflection in waters below the tower all on a light green background. The poet praised Moore's artwork, noting that the cover was both a true representation of Thoor Ballylee and a successful symbolic design for the collection. Moore's work on The Tower and other collections solidified Yeats's modern image in both American and English print editions ^[7]

Literary Topics and Content[edit]

Many of the poems in The Tower demonstrate Yeats's disillusionment with the limitations of the physical world and his withdrawal from ordinary life. The poet seeks to transcend the conflicts between the dichotomies of mind/body and thought/action by allowing poetry to exist in the world of vision rather than the world of reality.^[8]

Geologist Azusa Hayano (66) grabs a rope that is tied right next to the trail winding through the dense forest which lies in the shadow of Mount Fuji. This Forest is so dense with vegetation, that it is known for being almost impossible to navigate through. Even a GPS or a compass wouldn’t help a lost visitor.

This is the reason why the forest of Aokigahara as been elected by so many as their final destination: every year, hundreds of people choose to come and die here.In 1960, Seicho Matsumoto wrote a novel called “Tower of wave', in which a loving couple commits suicide in this particular forest. This book triggered a wave of suicides in Aokigahara forest with people travelling from afar to take their lives here. The forest is also described in another book by author Wataru Tsurumi, entitled “The complete manual of suicide”, which gives the reader all the different possible methods to commit suicide. The book became a best seller in Japan and has been found next to many of bodies in the woods.Wataru Tsurumi describes Aokigahara forest as the perfect place to die. In the book the author explains how to drive to this forest, and which part of the forest is best never to be found.

The forest is also called the sea of trees (or “Yukai “) by the locals, because of its dense vegetation. It stands on the remains of the last volcanic eruption that occurred 864 years ago, over a surface of more than 3500 hectares.Those who get into the woods often tie a rope next to the trail and then follow the rope along a few hundred meters. The ropes are usually painted in white and blue and some parts of the forest are completely filled with them. At the end of the ropes, pills, food, clothing, diaries, are often found. A few weeks before our arrival the forest had been cleared of all bodies, which is done once a year, right before the holiday season begins. How weird this place now may be, it is a great tourist attraction.
