The development of the poetry of William Butler Yeats

I have confined this thesis to Yeats's Poetry, and have mentioned his dramas and prose works only in passing. I have dealt with the earliest dramatic sketches in verse(Island of Statues, Mosada etc) in some detail, because they belong to the domain of Poetry, and not Drama. John B. Jests exalted the dramatic form above everything else and condemned personal utterance as egoism, and it was to the dramatic form that young Yeats first turned. It has been difficult to steer clear of the Poetic Plays in a treatment of his Poetry, but the thread of his development is sufficiently clear even outside his plays. Drama he made into an elaborate ritual, and he subtilised dramatic speech to a disciplined movement, which gives it an incantation on the whole different from that of his Poetry.I have treated the early poetry in more detail because that was the period he was 'on the boiling pot'. The difference between the lyrics of the 'Wanderings of Oisin' (1889) and 'The Wind Among the Reeds' (1899) is considerably greeter than that between 'The Fascination of what's difficult' (1910) end the 'Circus Animal's Desertion" (1939). Once his speculations grew vivid, his poetry as well as its expression crystallised into its modern form. From 1919 ('The Wild Swans at Coole') to 1939 it matured and grew in strength, but did not undergo any revolutionary change.I have endeavoured in criticising his early work to take stock of the reactions they caused on the audience of the day rather than judge them objectively from modern standards. His later work does not allow such elaborate diagnosis and is a little terrifyingly near for more careful scrutiny. And I have been a little afraid of losing my bearings

Nutrients in the shadow-nutrients of substance

While the dietary importance of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements has been well recognised, the role of shadow nutrients, a class of metabolites, which are biosynthesized in the body and serve vital functions, such as lipoic acid, choline, inositol, taurine and carnitine, has not been adequately appreciated. There are reasons to believe that during infancy and in ageing, biosynthesis of these metabolites may be limited. The objective of this review is to highlight the essentiality of these nutrients and the need for their supplementation in the diets of infants and in elderly people. Provision of shadow nutrients where the necessary biosynthetic machinery might not have developed to full stature or might have slowed down, is a new concept in nutrition which needs attention
