Central idea of the chapter: the development of 'organicist' concepts of society from Romantic humanist to modernist. 
  section on Charles Dickens; 
  before this section: a section on T. S. Eliot

1. Maud Gonne "for Yeats at once symbol of Ireland's eternal beauty and rancorous political demogogue."
2. "Easter 1916": 

"I have met them at close of day 
Coming with vivid faces 
From counter or desk among grey 
Eighteen-century houses.  
I have passed with a nod of the head 
Or polite meaningless words, 
. .  .
Being certain that they and I 
But lived where motley is worn: 
All changed, changed utterly: 
A terrible beauty is born."
  
(different from Yeats' views on Irish nationalism in the poems "September 1913":
WHAT need you, being come to sense,                                                                   
But fumble in a greasy till
And add the halfpence to the pence
And prayer to shivering prayer, until
You have dried the marrow from the bone;
For men were born to pray and save:
Romantic Ireland's dead and gone,
It's with O'Leary in the grave."
