Willian Butler Yeats, Who Goes with Fergus?
"And no more turn aside and brood Upon love's bitter mystery;
For Fergus rules the brazen cars" (kennedy561)
I like the simplicity of this poem. Quick overview, Fergus was a king who gave up the throne to be a wandering poet. He literary gave up wealth in pursue of happiness. I could only imagine the amount of people who was at complete state of shock. Probably did not approve of his decisions. Honestly though, in the world we live in, who will follow Fergus? I have to admit that I think he is crazy for relinquishing all titles. In the poem though the "brazen cars" represent Fergus being the driver. That he controls his destiny free from external oppression. That and the world is his for the taking. Anything under the sun is his to to have.
