"Rosa Alchemica" by W. B. Yeats is a short story that takes elements of Yeats' passions. His Irish heritage, myths, legends, and magic, as well as the brotherhood that comes along with being part of a secret society, are all woven into this poetic and romantic work. This short story is part horror, part love story, and part fantasy of alchemy and finding beauty in the natural world to create a dreamlike experience for readers to this day.
