The Tower by W.B. Yeats
4.0

This is the second Yeats collection I've read lately, and I think overall I like it better than Michael Robartes and the Dancer. That had one stunning poem ("The Second Coming"), and while The Tower doesn't have anything that matches that, the standard as a whole is higher, in my opinion - I certainly enjoyed reading it more. The sequence of poems titled "A Man Young and Old" was excellent, but my favourite piece here was "Leda and the Swan".
