Yeats[v=]

1865: S-a nascut William Butler Yeats, scriitor irlandez, laureat al premiului Nobel in 1923, unul dintre cei mai mari poeti de limba engleza ai secolului XX.

S-a nascut in Dublin, in Irlanda, iar talentul pentru arta l-a mostenit de la tatal sau, un fost avocat devenit pictor.

Familia sa s-a mutat in Londra cand Yeats avea doar doi ani, pentru ca la cativa ani sa revina in patria natala.

In timpul scolii a fost fascinat de lucrarile despre reincarnare, fenomene supranaturale, mistica orientala si chiar a pus bazele unei societati care avea in centru asemenea preocupari. 

A debutat ca scriitor in 1885, intr-o revista din Dublin.

Dupa ce a avut cateva tentativa sa se stabileasca in alte orase ale Angliei, a revenit definitiv acasa in 1896 si s-a implicat in diverse proiecte culturale, a reformat Asociatia Irlandeza de Literatura si a condus teatrul din Dublin pana la sfarsitul vietii.

In tot acest timp a semnat o multime de volume, fiind rasplatit pentru activitatea sa literara cu premiul Nobel.

A decedat in 28 ianuarie 1939, in Franta.
