Because complete
The Circus Animals' Desertion WB Yeats:
Those masterful images because complete
Grew in pure mind, but out of what began?
===
Do the red words mean 'because of being complete'? If yes, is 'because + adj.' Irish English or is it modern standard English, not poetic licence?
Thank you.
