The fairy gate to Summerland(for JaneEden) A huge image that is best viewed at full screen. I recently received the fine gifts, of 2 hand painted background packages, from my Renderosty friend Jane Aka. JaneEden. This image is number 2/2 dedication image i post, in gratitude for the fine gifts. The 2 packages are: JaneEdens Spring Fantasy, and, JaneEdens Winter Moods. My input for this image, was the gift from Jane, Loreena McKennits song..The stolen child(a song Jane likes). And of course...William Butler Yeats(1865-1939) poem..The stolen child(1886). Here is a link if you wish to read the poem: Click here to read the poem. And here is two links Loreena McKennits, The stolen child, video. Click here to hear the song. or Click here to hear the song. My first step was to figure out, what W.B Yeats is telling with his beautiful poem. Because that is the key, to it all. That took me quite some effort, to figure out what i believe. The stolen child, poem... is all about. First i read lots of analysis of the poem here. Click here to read the poetry analysis. A few analysts bring usefull information, about rational explanations to crisis like, when Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or some other disease takes a child's life unexpectedly. But also the fact, that W.B Yeats infant brother died, in his childhood. After many hours of Googling...I found out where and when....W.B. Yeats infant brother was burried. Here are some are some interesting facts about the Yeats family. Click here to read about the it. Robert Corbet Yeats(March 27.th -1870-March 3.rd 1873), died 3 weeks before his 3.rd birthday. William Butler Yeats were only 7 years old.. When his infant brother, died unexpectedly. A shock for a 7 year old boy.. Everyone in the Yeats family were artists. So i actually think that the Yeats parents, had to try and explain to William.. What had happened to his infant brother...in a way a child, would understand. I think they maybe used the pagan illussion, according to Celtic Lore/Irish mythology, Wiccan philosopy, folklore and legend. That fairies stole/allured his brother, and took him to The Summerland (The beyond, or, The afterlife dimension). Many people were superstitious at that time, and many believed deeply, in Irish folklore. So in 1873 it would make a rational and acceptable explanation, for when a small child die unexpectedly...And noone could explain why it happened. Maybe it was SIDS. So i think William Butler Yeats.. use this dramatic childhood memory...as inspiration. He turn it into a very beautiful poem. It is a poet's way of telling a tragic story. The same story his parents might have told him in 1873, when he asked what had happend to his infant brother. By using certain beautiful wordings and sentences, it is possible to make a tragedy sound beautiful. Maybe a young poets private challenge, and maybe even self therapy. And i tried my best to merge, the poem, the song, Jane's fantasy background, and my bid on the truth about the poem. Into a beautiful fairytale image. :) I hope you like the image, the poem and the song. Thanks for any comments and or faves.
