The Lake Isle of Innisfree What metaphors are used in The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 04:24 Last updated by Jill W on 07 Nov 11:44
The amphibraic foot in the fifth line corresponds with the similar foot in the first line. This may be used to emphasize the metaphor that Innisfree represents escape for the speaker.
