Responsibilities and Other Poems
William Butler Yeats
| Yeats was the leader of the Irish literary renaissance that aimed at reviving ancient Irish folklore, legends and traditions in new literary works. The influence of the “Celtic Renaissance” is strong in Yeats’s early poetry in which the poems often center on Irish mythology and themes and are mystical, slow-paced and lyrical. |
