ALTHOUGH many critics have analyzed Yeats's A Vision and the poems based on that book, no particularly careful scrutiny has been devoted to the key symbols of the system as they appear in his early poems. The sun and the moon, representing basic antinomies in his experience, appear intermittently in the verse from 1890 on, and, until his marriage in 1917 and the consequent work on A Vision, the symbols conveyed meanings rather more fixed than one would expect. It is the intent of this paper to analyze in detail the meaning of those symbols both by examining the texts of Yeats's poems and by investigating his prose writing and certain works with which he was familiar.
