W. B. Yeats

Yeats's poems often weave together folklore and personal themes, creating a rich tapestry of Irish identity. I'm curious what sources or experiences shaped this fusion.

The way he grapples with the passage of time feels both personal and universal. How did those themes resonate with others reading his work?

Many of these poems touch on Irish nationalism and cultural identity. I wonder if the included poems were chosen to reflect his evolving political stance.
