Happy Birthday, W.B. Yeats!
William Butler Yeats is widely considered to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Last year was the 150th anniversary of the birth of the Nobel Prize winning poet.
Yeats was a maker of extraordinary love poems and an architect of
modernism, and many of his most powerful lines have entered the
language.
His most famous poems include When You Are Old, A Dialogue of Self and Soul, Blood and the Moon, He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven, and many more!
