William Butler Yeats was born in Sandmond near Dublin. His father is a painter. He spent his childhood in Dublin and London respectively. Ye Zhi studied painting in his early years and was one of the artists in London. He often pays attention to the yellow book of the local periodical.
Ye Zhi, together with some Irish writers, initiated the "Irish Renaissance Movement" which had great influence at that time. At that time, apart from writers' literary creation, they also translated and excavated ancient legends, poems and folk songs, which also played a great role in sports.
One of the greatest achievements of this movement is the establishment of the monastery theatre. In the first two years of its existence, it didn't succeed, and then it began to get better with the help of his friends. After the famous playwright John millington Sheen joined us, their team also made a lot of money and built the Abbey Theatre.
Ye Zhi met many modernists through his friend Pound, which greatly changed the style of his early works. In his later years, he stopped paying attention to political topics such as middle age and began to write in his own unique style. Ye Zhi began to write for his family, sometimes describing the passage of time and expressing his helplessness and sadness.
Ye Zhi's love
When it comes to Ye Zhi, you must tell his love. One of his classical poems, When You Are Old, was moved by his deep affection. This poem is the most popular love poem in Ye Zhi. Behind this profound feeling is the painful experience of the author's secret love. For Ye Zhi's love, we can read his yearning and longing for love from his poems.

Yeats
1889, Ye Zhi met Modgunny. He fell in love with this woman at first sight, and this woman is also the source of Ye Zhi's love poems. After close contact, Ye Zhi proposed to Okada, but was rejected. I proposed to Gong three times before and after, and failed every time. Ye Zhi was passionately and loyally in love with the revolutionary female soldier Modgunny. Although she didn't get a response, her appearance had a great influence on Ye Zhi's life and creation.
Early Ye Zhi was full of longing for love and unremitting pursuit of beautiful things. However, this pursuit did not bring him happiness in love. It is always full of confusion and pain. Some people have only read this touching poem, but they don't know the heartbreaking love tragedy behind it. At first, Ye Zhi naturally fell in love with this woman, as if everything in the world had become better. However, for him, this woman is so elusive, pain and happiness are intertwined, and disappointment and hope go hand in hand. This kind of love made him suffer emotionally all his life, but it also sublimated his soul. Only then did his creation seem so touching.
