The Lake Isle of "Ijustwannabefree"

I believe that Yeats's "The lake Isle of Innisfree" condemns the chaos found in industrialized cities and instead advocates a return to nature.  Something has been lost by the culture of humanity due to rapid industrialization, and Yeats clearly believes that the answer can be found away from it all.  He claims to intend to move to a small island, as disconnected from industrialization as a person could likely get at that time.  There is nothing negative to be said about the island he intends to move to, as even the bee-infested glades inspire serenity in Yeats as he longs to be away from the city.

The cities themselves barely receive a mention in the poem.  The roadways of the city are briefly mentioned, and even when they are, they are described as grey and almost boring.  With all of the praise Yeats gives seclusion, it is hard to imagine grey roads leading anywhere but an unhappy place.  Even before this time period, nature had long been in the process of being forgotten.  Then, people were more concerned with material things rather than appreciate what was around them.  Yeats, however, reminds us that humans were intended to live alongside nature, and that we should never allow it to escape our grasp.
