Read this line from "the Song of Wandering Aengus" by William Butler Yeats. Because a fire was in my head, What does "a fire was in my head" mean? He hears the sound of flames and yearns to flee. It's an image Aengus has of his head being on fire. Aengus's head feels flushed from anger. It shows Aengus's intense desire to go fishing.
