The Hour Glass and Other Plays
"The Hour Glass" is one of Mr. Yeats' noble and effective plays, and with the other plays in the volume, make a small, but none the less representative collection.
These tales belong to the realm of pure lyrical expression. They are mysterious and shadowy, full of infinite subtleties and old wisdom of folklore, and sad with the gray wistful Celtic sadness.
"Lovers of Mr. Yeats's suggestive and delicate writing will find him at his best in this volume."—Springfield Republican.
