The Lake Isle of Innisfree

“Take me to the Lakes, where all the poets went to die”

Angela & Uncle Jerry draw a direct thematic parallel between Taylor's 'Take me to the Lakes' and Yeats's Lake Isle of Innisfree, both poems express the desire to escape to a simple, natural place and live a quiet life. Uncle Jerry says the phrase 'take me to the lakes' makes him think of Yeats's poem about wanting a simple life on the Lake Isle of Innisfree with 'wattlemaid and nine bean rows.'
