As originally published in The Atlantic Monthly May 1938 William Butler Yeats by Louise Bogan W ILLIAM Butler Yeats, at the age of seventy-three, stands well within the company of the great poets. He is still writing, and the poems which now appear, usually embedded in short plays or set into the commentary and prefaces which have been another preoccupation of his later years, are, in many instances, as vigorous and as subtle as the poems written by him during the years ordinarily considered to be the period of a poet's maturity. Yeats has advanced into age with his art strengthened by a long battle which had as its object a literature written by Irishmen fit to take its place among the noble literatures of the world. The spectacle of a poet's work invigorated by his lifelong struggle against the artistic inertia of his nation is one that would shed strong light into any era. The phenomenon of a poet who enjoys continued development into the beginning of old age is in itself rare. Goethe, Sophocles, and, in a lesser degree, Milton come to mind as men whose last works burned with the gathered fuel of their lives. More often development, in a poet, comes to a full stop; and it is frequently a negation of the ideals of his youth, as well as a declination of his powers, that throws a shadow across his final pages. Yeats in his middle years began to concern himself with the problem of the poet in age. He wrote in 1917, when he was fifty-two:

When You Are Old William Butler Yeats Search all of William Butler Yeats William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) , Irish poet, dramatist and prose writer, one of the greatest English-language poets of the 20th century. Yeats received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. William Butler Yeats was born on June 13, 1865 in Dublin. His father was a lawyer turned Pre-Raphaelite painter. In 1867 the family followed him to London and settled in Bedford Park. In 1881 they returned to Dublin, where Yeats studied at the Metropolitan School of Art. Reincarnation, communication with the dead, mediums, supernatural systems and Oriental mysticism fascinated Yeats through his life. In 1886 Yeats formed the Dublin Lodge of the Hermetic Society. As a writer Yeats made his debut in 1885, when he published his first poems in The Dublin University Review . In 1887 the family returned to Bedford Park, and Yeats devoted himself to writing. He visited Mme Blavatsky, the famous occultist, and joined the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society, but was later asked to resign. In 1889 Yeats met his great love, Maud Gonne (1866-1953), an actress and Irish revolutionary who became a major landmark in his life and imagination. However, she married in 1903 Major John MacBride, and this episode inspired Yeats's poem "No Second Troy". Yeats was interested in folktales as a part of an exploration of national heritage and for the revival of Celtic identity. His study with George Russell and Douglas Hyde of Irish legends and tales was published in 1888 under the title

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS Born, Dublin, Ireland, 1865 Died, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, 1939 This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama Purchase Plays by William Butler Yeats W HEN Yeats' dramatic poem, The Countess Cathleen , was used in 1899 as the inaugural piece of the newly conceived Irish literary theater, "a politician, a cardinal, and newspaper combined forces to stir up opposition to the play on the ground that it was blasphemous and unpatriotic." [ ] As a consequence, the opening performance was attended by a large body of Dublin police prepared to quell any disturbance. Far from dampening the enthusiasm of the little band who were striving to create for Ireland a national theater, it spurred them on to greater efforts. It is largely due to the leadership and vision of W. B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory that we owe later successes of dramatists like Padriac Colum, J. M. Synge

WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS (Dublino 13 Giugno 1865 - Cap Martin 28 Gennaio 1939) VITA E OPERE: Nasce da una famiglia di origine inglese, figlio di un pittore vicino al pre-raffaelismo ( John Butler Yeats ) e di una madre proveniente da una famiglia di armatori e commercianti protestanti e unionisti. Passa la sua adolescenza tra il paese di origine (si avvicina alla poesia durante le estati tranquille trascorse a Sligo, nella casa del nonno materno, grazie alle letture dello stalliere) e Londra. Nel 1883 entra alla Metropolitan School of Art di Dublino dove conosce George Russel con il quale ha in comune l'interesse per l'occultismo e il misticismo da cui continuerà a ricavare per tutta la sua vita profonde suggestioni. Già a soli 24 anni pubblica la sua prima raccolta di poesie, I viaggi di Ossian (The wonderings of Oisin, 1889) , esempio tipo della sua prima maniera mitizzante e sognante sui temi della terra d'Irlanda. Nel 1889 comincia con la collaborazione di Ellis l'edizione critica delle opere di Blake. Nel 1892 a Dublino fonda la Società Letteraria Irlandese. In Inghilterra si aggiorna sul decadentismo ed il simbolismo, mentre in Irlanda prende contatto con le proprie radici. Nasce l'amore non corrisposto e mai spento per l'attrice e patriota irlandese Maud Gonne. In poesia i risultati sono splendidi ma senza grandi possibilità di evoluzione: ne

Go to "Easter 1916," with readings by Peter Davison, Philip Levine, and Richard Wilbur recorded specially for Atlantic Unbound. Discuss this feature in the forum of Go to An Audible Anthology Go to Atlantic Unbound 's Poetry Pages From The Atlantic 's archives: "All Ireland's Bard," by Seamus Heaney (November, 1997) "Tied by birth to unionism, memorialist of the executed Nationalist rebels of 1916, W. B. Yeats mirrored Ireland's divisions in his self-divisions yet saw the island as a single cultural entity sprung from common roots in common myths." "William Butler Yeats," by Louise Bogan (May, 1938) "Yeats has advanced into age with his art strengthened by a long battle which had as its object a literature written by Irishmen fit to take its place among the noble literatures of the world. The spectacle of a poet's work invigorated by his lifelong struggle against the artistic inertia of his nation is one that would shed strong light into any era." February 4, 1998 B y common consent, William Butler Yeats's "Easter 1916" belongs on the short list of the century's essential poems in the English language. It is a work that looms like a monolith even among the company of other perennial anthology pieces, yet in many respects its indestructible stature belies just what an improbable achievement it is. It should have aged rather badly: few commemorative poems that look to place their stamp on social and political unrest retain their urgency once the heat of the moment fades, and even the most shrewdly measured public elegy usually comes down to us embalmed in the amber of its period.

G'day and welcome to the web page for Yeatsians of the State of Victoria, Australia Beyond Ben Bulben The Australian Yeats Society BEYOND BEN BULBEN in the State of Victoria Australia consists of a group with a shared interest in Irish and Anglo-Irish literature and poetry, especially that of WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS (1865- 1939). The title BEYOND BEN BULBEN evokes the distance - both in time and space - from Sligo and the magical YEATS COUNTRY, in the heart of which is the resting place of W. B. Yeats and his wife George in Drumcliffe Churchyard. At the foot of BEN BULBEN the mountain which dominates Sligo town from the North and faces that other dominant magical cairn topped mountain KNOCKNAREA. MacLysaght's The Surnames of Ireland defines the name YEATS as meaning 'dweller by the gate'. A more appropriate name could not have been given to W. B. and his family; for their vast opus is indeed a 'doorway' to the intellectual 'truth' of life. Beyond Ben Bulben invite you through this gate to meet with the contemporaries of W. B.
