W B (William Butler) Yeats

William Butler Yeats was born in 1865 in Ireland, and his childhood and adolescence were spent in Ireland and England. His lifelong concerns are evident in his earliest poetry: history, mythology, and the occult; soon he also took up politics and drama, and he helped found the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. In 1922, he became a senator of the Irish Free State, and he won the Nobel Prize in 1923. The following poems represent his best work through 1921.
