About this book

Seven Poems and a Fragment is by William Butler Yeats. The table of contents names All Souls’ Night, Suggested by a Picture of a Black Centaur, The New Faces, A Prayer for My Son, Cuchulain the Girl and the Fool and The Wheel. In All Souls’ Night, the great Christ Church bell and many a lesser bell sound through the room, for it is now midnight.

The speaker calls on Florence Emery, who, finding the first wrinkles on a face admired and beautiful, preferred to teach a school, away from neighbour or friend. A note says its writer had originally intended to end the play tragically, and would have done so but for a friend who used to say O do write comedy & have a few happy moments in the Theatre.
