On YeatsThis is a featured page

Ezra Pound called young William Butler Yeats the only poet worth paying attention to. The eldest son of an Irish painter, Yeats came of age alongside Irish nationalism, and developed his love of the Romantic poets into an abiding interest in Irish culture. An enthusiast of mysticism and the occult, he was also invested in politics -- but for most of his life shied away from becoming deeply involved in activism.

Do you think that many of Yeats' literary compositions were his method for getting involved in the politics which he enjoyed but publically shied away from?
