Title： On Disenchantment of Death and Oriental Transcendence in Yeats's “Lapis Lazuli”

Abstract： Yeats's septuagenarian masterpiece， “Lapis Lazuli，” embodies the poet's mystical contemplation and his cosmopolitan solutions to modern nihilism and wars. The two World Wars had strewn death and nihility over Europe， and the bloodshed of the Irish War of Independence had further prompted contemplation on the meaning of life. By embracing the joy of “being，” Yeats opposed the over-beautification of both death and tragedy. Yeats used occultism against instrumental rationalism and historical gyres based on eastern and western philosophy against the rifts within contemporary spirits in an effort to reinvigorate the spiritual wasteland of the West and reshape the philosophical underpinnings of Irish nationalism. In addition to reflecting Yeats's occultism based on western civilization， “Lapis Lazuli” also demonstrates Yeats's investigation into oriental solutions， which is a clear indication of Yeats's late-career synthesis of Irish cultural nationalism and cosmopolitan vision.
