About the Author

William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet and playwright whose mystical, evocative verse shaped modern literature in the early twentieth century. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923 and is celebrated for works like "The Second Coming" and "Sailing to Byzantium." Yeats famously explored themes of love, history, and the occult, believing deeply in spiritualism and Irish mythology. His philosophical declaration that "the center cannot hold" captures the anxiety and transformation of his era.
