Abstract: William Butler Yeats is widely considered to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He was one of the modern poets, who influenced his contemporaries as well as successors. By nature he was a dreamer, a thinker, who fell under the spell of the folklore and the superstition of the Irish peasantry. He felt himself as stranger in the world of technology and rationalists. In this article sense of moral wholeness and humanity of a prominent poet is discussed. Through analysis of the poem “Sailing to Byzantium” Yeats’ creative way, peculiarities of his style and interpretation of symbols, their connection with author’s intellectual condition have been studied.
Key words: modern poetry, poetic sensibility, symbolism, mysticism, mythology, individual style, poetry analyses, interpretation of poetic images.
