Quotes by W. B. Yeats
Irish poet, 1865–1939
William Butler Yeats moved from the dreamy lyrics of The Wind Among the Reeds (1899) to the hard, plain poetry of The Tower (1928), and is counted among the greatest poets of the twentieth century. A founder of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin and a senator of the Irish Free State, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923.
