William Butler Yeats was born in 1865 in Ireland, and his childhood and adolescence were spent in Ireland and England. His lifelong concerns are evident in his earliest poetry: history, mythology, and the occult; soon he also took up politics and drama, and he helped found the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. In 1922, he became a senator of the Irish Free State, and he won the Nobel Prize in 1923. The following poems represent his best work through 1921.
