The Unseen World

  • The unseen, the "other world," seeks to enter our world through us, like wind through a vessel.
  • We must become vessels for this unseen energy to keep the world on the track of creation.
ANECDOTE

Book Title Origin

  • The book's title, "The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart," comes from a W.B. Yeats poem.
  • Meade wanted a title that wouldn't hurt sales, omitting the word "foul" from the poem.
ANECDOTE

Memorizing Poetry

  • Meade memorized poems while driving, reciting Yeats until he knew them by heart.
  • Hillman also loved Yeats, leading to a debate about which poems to exclude, not include.
