2. The "Lake Isle of Innisfree" is a poem written
by William Butler Yeats in 1888. The poem was
published first in the National Observer in 1890
and reprinted in The Countess Kathleen and
Various Legends and Lyrics in 1892. One of
Yeats's earlier poems, "The Lake Isle of
Innisfree" was an attempt to create a form of
poetry that was Irish in origin rather than one
that adhered to the standards set by English
poets and critics.
3. The Lake Isle of Innisfree is a real place off
the coast of Ireland. It is not inhabited and
is in Lough Gill in County Sligo. The lake is
5 miles and is very small. Yeats would go
to Sligo as a child on vacations, so it was a
good memory for him. It is a quiet place.
Think of a lake you might know and love, a
woodsy place where you can hear the frogs
and birds, a place to get away.

13. Peace and serenity is important in our life to
get in touch with our inner self.
Our hectic schedule, in the absence of peace
is creating mental imbalance in indivisuals
which is seen in the form of anger,
frustration, mood swings, etc . Thus a
person should always make time to get away
from the usual routine and recreate oneself .
With peace in our lives we will live a calm,
balanced, content and a happy life
