	William Butler Yeats: The Man, The Writer
		Yeats labeled himself a socialist, one who despised the middle classes, and his ideal Ireland was divided between a hard-riding Protestant of fine artistic tastes and a devout Catholic peasantry, full of instinctive wisdom and preserving a living folklore (Rogers, 384).
		Yeats was more of a revolutionary and more of a contributor to English Literature than any of his peers, and arguably one of the largest contributors in history.
		One analysis of the poetry of Yeats capsulizes its meaning thusly, "What the poems record is the continuous conflict between the claims of a prophetic wisdom, a sense of insulation against the terrors of history, and, on the other hand, the claims, rewards, and pains of the moment" (Scott-Kilvert, 208).
