'Yeats was one of the few whose history is the history of their own time, who are a part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them.' - T.S. Eliot 'You were silly like us; your gift survived it all; The parish of rich women, physical decay, yourself; Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry.' - W.H Auden, In Memory of W.B. Yeats
