Yeats

W.B. Yeats was an Irish poet and playwright who lived from 1865 to 1939. He is renowned for his lyrical poetry that blends Irish mythology, spiritual themes, and personal symbolism. Yeats explored themes of love, political change, aging, and the mystical, often reflecting Ireland’s cultural struggles. His work evolved from romantic and allegorical to more expressionist and modernist styles, earning him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923. Yeats's poetry balances beauty with deep philosophical questions, offering insights into individual identity and collective memory.
