Under Ben Bulben

There are two "versions " of Yeat's afterlife in these poems about his poem, a homage and a love, two shapes of one in elimae February and March 2008. The first Cooper expertly preserved as a pdf  here.
The other look, called Gyre, in March elimae, 2008 was  here, but is now in a dissolute form,  so given below Does the gyre run on? You have faith for that? We who have visited Wordsworth and Sterne and Swift stand with arms behind our backs. On the Tomb of Yeats,  Whether Yeats lived more than one, and its simulacrums were virtuous or its cartoons, if you want another life you need a son.

 Gyre

When
Butler
Yeats his
lesson learned
he sank into the cider churn.
Will he spin out? That's a matter
even old men hope and dream,
the cider hard, the old bald pate
inebriates guests, but cold the plate.
Matter poured conforms to cup,
its circles now gesticulate,
there is unwept one
lesson learned
though all
of monde
Eire
turn.
This
was
written
once in stone,
horseman pass,
cast a cold eye
on death,
none
come
again.

Men overwhelmed by shock and awe of their gold gods in the formal world religions are as subservient as the primitive. Blood rites top to bottom. War is an invention of the gods. The fact of death is different from the agencies of death, war and the study of war inculcated into earth by supernatural interference. In the Death of Cuchulain at the end of Last Poems Yeats in his resistance confronts these agencies even though he seems compromised with the Titans and the gods. To fight against the divine is paramount in Aeschylus. Aliens turn this as if it were fighting against (the true) God, but this is alien equivocation. In the fight against Saturn, the Titans and all Olympus, men were powerless to effect change even if they resisted to the death like Sisyphus, Prometheus. The recast of this man into a demi-god himself to undermine the man and turn him into a god means he has become his own enemy, has ceased to resist and is completely enslaved. "To those who really believe in a Supreme Being the occurrence of supernatural interference, causing physical convulsions and changes, presents no difficulty, especially in connection with a world the moral condition of which is evidently out of course ages before the creation of our race" (Pember, Earth's Earliest Ages. Preface). Aeschylus, Dante, Yeats lead to wondering how the human fights against the divine, the divine being the fallen, since it has always existed and must have been resisted or influenced long since.
