Al parecer, hace falta conocer bien al autor para entender de lo que habla. Tendría uno que haber leído algo de su filosofía y saber de su vida y milagros, bastante azarosos, por lo visto. Si, como es mi caso, se mete uno en esto sin demasiada preparación, no se entera de nada. Algunas veces, sí, encuentro algún poema o algunos versos que hablan a los seres humanos normales, o que tratan de las guerras o que transparentan el amor por su país, por cuya independencia luchó denodadamente. No le quitaré mérito, faltaría más, pero uno tiene sus gustos.

William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin, Ireland on June 13, 1865. He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival and, along with Lady Gregory, Edward Martyn, and others, founded the Abbey Theatre, where he served as its chief playwright until the movement was joined by John Synge. Yeats' plays included The Countess Cathleen, The Land of show more Heart's Desire, Cathleen ni Houlihan, The King's Threshold, and Deirdre. Although a convinced patriot, Yeats deplored the hatred and the bigotry of the Nationalist movement, and his poetry is full of moving protests against it. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923 for what the Nobel Committee described as "inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation." He is one of the few writers who completed their greatest works after being awarded the Nobel Prize. His poetry collections include The Wild Swans at Coole, Michael Robartes and the Dancer, The Tower, The Winding Stair and Other Poems, and Last Poems and Plays. He died on January 28, 1939 at the age of 73. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
