The influence of modernism on Ye Tzu's poetic style is mainly reflected in the fact that with the passage of time, poets gradually abandoned the traditional poetic style of writing in their early works, and the language style became more and more cold, and directly cut to the theme. This shift in style is mainly reflected in his mid-term works, including the collections Seven Woods, Responsibility, and Green Helmet

In 1923, Yetz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was presented by the King of Sweden himself. Two years later, he published a short poem, "The Plenty of Sweden", to express his gratitude.

In 1925, Yeats published a painstaking essay book, Spiritual Vision, in which he used the views of Plato, Brittano, and several other modern philosophers to substantiate his theories of astrology, mysticism, and history.

Yeats became acquainted with many young modernists through Pound, which led to his mid-period poems moving away from the style of his earlier Celtic Dawn.

His interest in politics is no longer limited to the cultural politics of the early Renaissance. In Yeats's early works, the aristocratic stance of his soul is evident. He idealized the lives of Irish commoners and deliberately ignored the reality of the poverty and weakness of this class.

However, a revolutionary movement by the lower classes of Catholics in the city forced Yeats to change his creative stance.

Yetz's new political leanings are reflected in the poem "September 1913". The poem lashes out at the famous 1913 Dublin Strike, led by James Larkin.

In Easter 1916, the poet repeatedly chants: "Everything has changed / Completely changed / A terrible beauty has been born". Yitz finally realized that the value of the leaders of the Easter Rising lay in their humble origins and poverty.

Throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. Yeats was inevitably affected by the turmoil in his country and in the world as a whole.

In 1922, Yeats entered the Irish Senate. One of Yeats's most important achievements as a senator was as chairman of the Monetary Committee. It was this institution that designed Ireland's first currency after independence.

In 1925, he zealously advocated for the legalization of divorce. In 1927, in his poem "Among Schoolchildren", Yeats described himself as a public figure: "a smiling celebrity in the age of a sixtieth year". In 1928, due to health problems, Yetz retired from the Senate.

Yeats's aristocratic class stance and his close relationship with Pound brought the poet quite close to Mussolini. He has expressed his admiration for the fascist dictator on many occasions.

He even wrote some hymns to fascism, although these works were never published. However, when Pablo Neruda invited him to Madrid in 1937, Yeats wrote back to express his support for the Spanish Revolution and his opposition to fascism.

Yeats's political leanings were very ambiguous. He does not support the democrats. In his later years, he also deliberately distanced himself from Nazis and fascism. However, throughout Ye Ci's life. He never really embraced or endorsed democracy. At the same time, he was deeply influenced by the so-called "eugenics movement".

In his later years, Yeats gradually stopped touching on politically related subjects as he did in middle age, and began to write in a more personal style.

He began writing poems for his family and children. Sometimes they depict their experiences and emotions about the passage of time and aging. The Great Escape of the Circus Animals, one of his last collections of poems, vividly illustrates the inspiration for his late work: "Now that my stairs are gone/I must lie flat at the beginning of those stairs".

After 1929. Yeats moved out of Turbarleta. Although many of the memories of the poet's life are outside the Irish soil. He rented a house in the suburbs of Dublin in 1932.

Yeats was very prolific in his later years, publishing many collections of poetry, plays, and essays, and many famous poems were written in his later years. Including the pinnacle of his life, "Sailing to Byzantium".

This representative poem embodies Ye Tzu's yearning for the ancient and mysterious oriental civilization. In 1938, Yetz came to the Abby Theatre for the premiere of his play Purgatory. In the same year, he published The Autobiography of William Butler Yeets.

In his later years, Ye Tzu was riddled with illness and went to France to recuperate in the company of his wife. However, he eventually died on January 28, 1939 at the "Happy Holiday Hotel" in Menton, France.

His last poem was The Black Tower, which was based on the legend of King Arthur. After his death, Yeats was first buried in Rockbron.

In September 1948, in accordance with the poet's wishes, his body was moved to his hometown of Sleigo. His grave later became a striking attraction in Sleigore. His epitaph is the last line of the poet's later work "Under the Foothills of the Majestic Mountain": "Cast a cold eye/Look at life, see death/Knight, ride forward!" (CastacoldEye.OnLife, onDeath.Horseman, passby!) Yeats once said that Sleigo was the place that had the most profound impact on him in his life, so his sculpture and memorial were also located here.

“

When you are old, gray, and sleepy, and you are napping by the fire, take the book, read it slowly, and dream of a time in your eyes

soft light, and deep shadows;

How many people love your joyful and abundant time, love your beauty, true or false, love the heart of your pilgrim, love the sorrow contained in your changing countenance;

and leaned over the red-glittering fence, with a little sorrow, and murmured, and loved how to escape, and roamed the high mountains overhead

And hide his face from the stars.

If I have the brocade of heaven, embroidered with gold and silver, then with night and light and glimmer

Woven blue and gray and black brocade,

I will lay them under thy feet: but I am poor, and I have dreams only, and I will lay my dreams under thy feet, and tread lightly, for thou hast tread my dreams.

Wine comes from the lips, love comes from the eyes, and I know this truth before I die of old age. I raise my glass, I look at you, I sigh.

I pleaded - because the wick and the oil were depleted

And the pathways of the blood are frozen—my dissatisfiedness is satisfied—the bronze mold cast,

or the beauty that manifests itself in dazzling marble,

Manifest, but when we fade and fade again, we are less concerned than a ghost

Our loneliness. O heart, we are old, and the living beauty is for the younger: we cannot pay the tribute of its wild tears. ”

There is some beautiful sense of arrogance—when he walks "in the memory of Hamlet", when the wind rises, "blows his long loose tie into an eternal Byronic figure". ”

In his later years, he was still very strong but had a wild heart for life and death, and he said something amazing: "Now I am only a ghost, so I can tell the truth." 」

Ye Tzu's legendary life was returned to a handful of soil in his hometown, leaving the words on the epitaph:

「Castacoldeye

Onlife，ondeath

Horseman，passby！」

It's nostalgic. He looked at the world with cold eyes, looked at life and death, and the knight's horse seemed to move forward

Calling for his immortal spirit of encouragement, Ye Tzu brought great waves to the time as a poet

Speaking, it is unbelievable that this is the best example of the right person appearing in the right era,

Or perhaps it is the magnitude of Yeats's multiple identities (poet, playwright, essayist, senator).

Great influence, in any case, the poet was born at the right time, just with his susceptible heart, overflowing

Love, and incisive thinking to witness this era!(To be continued......)
