Joel Van Valin's Reviews > The Shadowy Waters

This dramatic poem about a man (Forgael) sailing off the edge of the world to meet the gods is romantically metaphorical. I feel Shakespeare is the main influence of Yeats here, but his own vision of Celtic deities sets it apart. The narrative is too dreamy to ever really gather tension, but it is an interesting drama to read, and probably would work well as a short play.
