no, a young roamtic's poem from an early wby engrossed in keats shelly and byron, his better stuff came as an old man, whence he had the dichotomy of public Vs private themes....that elder statesman, that had witnessed so much toil fron his garret in Ballylee...it's always already written

Secondly, he is at a state of being in "involuntary submission" to this darker side, but he fears it taking control of him. He is poor, because he is weak and has no power to the darkness, but he is drawn to it because of it's mystic value.

I don't believe it to be a poor man's love poem, but one which involves something "involuntary". I think its an inference to Yeats' fascination to occultism and mysticism. Yeats uses the words "blue, dim and dark" to suggest this. He is referring to a higher power, something that is mysterious and sublime, something that is outside his control. He finds the clothes only available in shadows - i.e. he has to revert to his own darkside to capture something and to make it available.

perfectly read, perfect stresses and perfect tone considering the wordiness of the poem. it is evident that the ending lines repeat in tows from the reading, but it sounds natural and only furthers the imagery here; feet and cloth-like dreams
