Style of works
Ye Zhi's early poems belong to the English romantic tradition developed from19th century, but due to his Irish background, his early poems are different from English romantic poems and have a unique Irish theme.
The combination of the two has produced Ye Zhi's unique early style: strong sense of rhythm, full of femininity and mysterious and dreamy colors; The characters described in the poems are mostly heroes, wise men, poets and magicians in Irish myths and legends.
At the same time, these poems show a melancholy and lyrical atmosphere, and their brushwork is quite similar to Shelley's. For young and sensitive Ye Zhi, poetry is a kind of dream, which can protect poets in the secular world, and Irish myths and folk stories that he has been immersed in since childhood are the distant places for him to find his dreams.
The themes of this period are mostly memories and dreams, and perhaps the masterpiece is Freeland, Inniss. This poem is a masterpiece of Ye Zhi's daydream, which actually reflects the poet's homesickness for his native Ireland. Perhaps its popularity is partly due to its thorough romantic theme and unique language style.
