Features: A strange book, mythology? Astrology? Eastern mysticism? This extraordinary book was forgotten in China for more than half a century and is now re-published for a wide readership. A book by a great poet about interpreting the human soul! It seems like a mythological story and also like astrology. Through the arrangement and combination of "Truth," "Falsehood," "Will," "Mask," "Creative Mind," and "Body of Fate," he created twenty-eight aspects to explore the mysteries of human life and history. Imagings is a clear and complete system of symbols, and the poet attempts to use this system to control the universe. Imagings can also be said to express the latent structure of Yeats's poetry. Yeats, using the voice of a poet, called this strange book, the result of years of exploration into the mysteries of life, "Desert Geometry." With the poet's innate sensitivity, he illuminated the inner laws of life.
