However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.

Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “l(fā)ittle of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (繼承) excellent taste in art from his family ——both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature , particularly drama (戲劇) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in ing of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn’t lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging.
