Description
In the last stanza of his late poem "The Circus Animals' Desertion," W.B. Yeats writes: "Those masterful images because complete / Grew in pure mind, but out of what began? / A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street, / Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can, / Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut / Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder's gone, / I must lie down where all the ladders start / In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart." Yeats was speaking of how artistic inspiration grows out of the common -- and sometimes ugly -- things, people, and experiences that make up everyday life. And his reflections on the nature of inspiration prompted the creation of this collage.
