국문 초록

I look at the images of Maud Gonne in Yeats's “Bronze Head.” The bronze head is a sculpture made by Lawrence Campbell, which is in the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, Dublin. When Yeats saw it, he must be shocked; she is old, and yet she looks “magnificent.” In the bronze work, Yeats sees Maud Gonne as “human, superhuman,” and “supernatural,” as well. He puts down all that occurs to him, from the very first encounter, when “she walks like a goddess,” not without wildness, though, to the image of Cathleen-like soul, to the image of her being supernatural with a sterner eye. All this enriching vision is made possible in this last poem of his; it is a conclusion to his poetry that is a history of a great heart craving for life for anther great heart; it is the best paean dedicated to a Goddess in his heart.
