William Butler Yeats passed away on 28 January 1939 was an Irish poet, playwright, and one of the foremost figures of 20th-century literature. He played a crucial role in the Irish Literary Revival and co-founded the Abbey Theatre. Yeats received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923.
His poetry, known for its rich symbolism and mysticism, explores themes of love, Irish folklore, and the complexities of human experience. Some of his notable works include "The Second Coming," "The Tower," and "The Lake Isle of Innisfree."
Aside from his literary pursuits, Yeats was involved in Irish politics and was appointed a senator in the Irish Free State in 1922. His influence extended beyond literature, shaping the cultural and political landscape of Ireland during a critical period.
