  The Crucifixion of the Outcast

  In The Crucifixion of the Outcast, W.B. Yeats weaves a haunting parable of injustice, piety, and the tragic fate of visionaries scorned by society. Set in a mythic version of early Christian Ireland, the story follows a devout, ragged poet who begs for sanctuary from a monastery — only to find rejection, ridicule, and ultimate martyrdom at the hands of those who claim to follow Christ. 
  This powerful tale explores the hypocrisy of religious institutions, the alienation of the artist, and the price of true spiritual conviction. Rich with allegory and poetic symbolism, Yeats paints a bleak but beautiful portrait of the eternal outcast — one whose death becomes his final and purest act of devotion. 
  Perfect for fans of literary allegory, Irish folklore, and philosophical fiction, The Crucifixion of the Outcast is both a social critique and a deeply moving spiritual meditation.
